About Jaasir Linger

During Jaasir’s time at academy he was selected in 2017 for the ‘Nikon-NOOR Academy’ masterclass week, organized by Nikon Europe and the renowned photo agency NOOR. Later that year he won the ‘Gouden Freelancer Award 2016/2017’, a biennial prize for the best Dutch journalistic production made by freelancers, with the documentary project ‘VPRO – Gliphoeve – Een Vergeten Strijd’. After Jaasir graduated at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam (may 2019) with the art-installation  ‘Hier praten we liever niet over!’ (Dutch for: ‘We’d rather not talk about this!’), his works have been showcased in art institutions such as ‘Museum Het Rembrandthuis’ and ‘Amsterdam Museum’. Jaasir is currently working on art and documentary projects concerning Surinamese cultural heritage. In addition he does commercial assignments (with clients such as Eneco, Erasmus Medisch Centrum, Benthem Crouwel Architects, FNV) and collaborations with all sorts of creatives.
