As the pressures of climate change, population, and strains on the world's natural resources become severe, the photographic images of cultures -- often taken on the frontlines of cultures in transition -- become revealing and highly informative.On Sept. 29, the "Global Storytellers" program will celebrate the work of four widely diverse photographers from around the globe: Khaled Hasan (Bangladesh), Farzana Wahidy (Afghanistan), Alejandro Chaskielberg (Argentina) and Rena Effendi (Azerbaijan). These four photographers, all 2008 All Roads photography awardees, represent the new generation of under-represented global storytellers -- each with their own unique visions and ways of celebrating the story of their culture.
The All Roads Photography Program recognizes and supports talented indigenous and minority-culture photographic storytellers from around the world who are documenting their changing culture and community through photography. The program provides a forum for photographers to showcase their unique perspectives to a global audience through exhibitions and panel discussions and offers awardees workshops and networking possibilities.
"Global Storytellers" is being hosted by a consortium including the National Geographic All Roads Film Project, Adobe, liveBooks, DataColor, FiftyCrows Foundation and the Aurora Forum. The program will be moderated by Mark Gonnerman of Stanford University's Aurora Forum, Chris Rainier from National Geographic and Andy Patrick of liveBooks/FiftyCrows Foundation.
This is event is open to the public and free of charge.
