For now, we stay home, but we never sit still. Organizing festivals was not possible in 2020. However, we were able to initiate a number of amazing projects. You can find these in an overview below.
We hope to see you again this fall, to enjoy art together, during Media Art Festival and Leeuwarden Urban Night Adventure – LUNA.
Team MAF-LUNA 20/21
YOUNG MASTERS 20/21
The new Young Masters 20/21 have been selected. Unfortunately, we were unable to present these talented artists with an exhibit last year. The corona numbers mean that for now it is not responsible to encourage people to get together. Check out the selection here.
11 OTHER PLACES
December is always a dark month, but in 2020 it was a little darker than usual. For many of us, this month was gloomier and more subdued than we are used to. Therefore, LUNA Collective, in collaboration with Lichtendonker and Merk Fryslân and commissioned by the province of Fryslân, provided a cultural experience and a light at the end of the tunnel. During eleven evenings, attention was drawn to special and unknown places throughout Fryslân.
Take a look at all the projects on this page.
THEME NIGHTS
On December 1, 2 and 3, the Media Art Festival in collaboration with the RUG Campus Fryslân and the Hanzehogeschool Groningen presented three intertwined online Theme Nights, full of discovery, discussion and artistic inspiration. Central to each evening was a theme that was further explored and unraveled by our special guest researchers and artists.

TUBELIGHTS
As part of the theme program ‘Here and Now’ of Media Art Friesland, the art installation Tubelights was on display in the glass entrance of Tresoar in November. An interactive work of art by the Groningen artist and designer Lambert Kamps in which the audience could participate by sharing words. Read more here.
ARTIST IN SPACE
Artist Jildau Nijboer completed a working week in Obe, Leeuwarden, during which she invited an online audience to contribute images to the artwork she is developing for LUNA 2021 in the context of Artist in Space.
Would you like to contribute something to the projects of Media Art Friesland? Every little bit helps and encourages us to keep creating new playful work!
