Insider, Outsider?
Photography that challenges perceptions of the developing
world
3-22 July 2012
Daily 10am-6pm (free admission)
Guardian Gallery, Kings Place, London N1 9GU
Local photographers have an insider perspective that is
unique, reflecting on and revealing previously untold stories around them.
Their privileged access enables them to develop an intimate understanding of
their subjects and theme. Using photography as a powerful communication tool,
they enable us to see something differently, or see something we haven’t seen
before.
However, whilst ‘insiders’ locally, many photographers from
the developing world are ‘outsiders’ on the global image market, remaining under
represented as storytellers about their own countries. Majority World Photo
Agency supports these photographers by making their work visible, and by
enabling them to earn money by selling globally. In so doing it also
contributes to a greater diversity of voices and viewpoints describing the
developing world.
‘Insider, Outsider?’ is Majority World’s first UK exhibition
featuring 17 photographers from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East
sharing critical, thoughtful and intimate stories close to home.
