This Guardian gallery showcases work from the BredaPhoto Festival, an international photography event held in the Netherlands, gathering personal and documentary projects from photographers around the world. The selection reflects the festival's focus on themes of identity, memory, conflict and displacement, told through deeply personal and often long-term bodies of work.

Featured photographers include Kali Spitzer, whose analogue portraiture explores Indigenous resilience in Canada, and Hashim Nasr, whose series examines war and displacement as an ongoing psychological condition rather than a single event. Other works include a posthumous memorial to Palestinian photographer Majd Arandas, killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza in November 2023; Amera Elnaal's documentary portrait of her blind parents in Tripoli, Libya; Eva Roefs' return to her small Dutch home village of Loosbroek; Prin Rodriguez's reimagining of Peruvian mythology from the Huarochirí manuscript; and Varvara Uhlik's exploration of post-Soviet childhood memory in Ukraine.
