Martin Adler, Piers Benatar, Tim Hetherington, Fernando Moleres, Shehzad Noorani, Karen Robinson, Andrew Testa and Hamish Wilson
Swimming against the tide of news coverage, Panos Pictures (a London-based photo agency) works with photographers prepared to take time to report in depth on human rights and current affairs in the Third World and in Eastern Europe. This show looks at how those photographers work and how their work is used.
Hamish Wilson has spent 12 years on a unique photographic archive of the nomadic people of Somalia in a time of war and suffering. Andrew Testa stayed with the Kosovo story from before the war until long after NATO's entry into the country in June '99. Fernando Moleres has worked on the subject of child labour for more than 5 years, exploring the issue in every continent. Karen Robinson has joined forces with the Indian novelist Arundhati Roy in the campaign against the Narmada Dam. Piers Benatar completed his study of the persecution of Christians in Pakistan while a student. Martin Adler and Shehzad Noorani have both worked on the subject of Bangladeshi brothels and the work in this show highlights their differing approaches. Tim Hetherington is an associate of Further Vision, which seeks to use new technology to take photojournalism into new areas.
