MOTHER EARTH SPEAKS

We are proud to partner with the LA Centre of Photography for our “Mother Earth Speaks” exhibition.

For immediate release.

Los Angeles Center of Photography is partnering with Photographers Without Borders (PWB), a global community of photographers and filmmakers to present projects by the Grantees of PWB’s Revolutionary Storytellers Program, among them Tatiana Lopez, Alex Moana King, Ayse Gürsöz, Fatma Fahmy and Angela Ponce.

The photographers use visual storytelling to present and chronicle the work of global communities who are protecting land and water. Those stories, which emerge from indigenous communities in Alaska, Egypt, Rarotonga, Peru and Ecuador facilitate deep connections between people and their lands, and a reciprocal relationship between human beings and the natural world: One that is based on giving and respect, rather than destruction and taking. Through photography and video installations, the exhibition will bring these stories into the gallery space, suggesting powerful ways to re-consider our relationship with natural resources, and one another.  

The views from those communities, captured by photographers who are native to these regions, outline powerful ideas and perspectives on key issues, such as climate change and its impact on our lives, environmentalism, environmental justice and the role economic policies play in shaping our present and future. 

Presented by the Los Angeles Center of Photography and Photographers Without Borders.
