Human.Kind.

$129⁰⁰

A collaborative project between the Prix Pictet and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, focusing on the work of thirty internationally recognized photographers from twenty-four countries.

Description

Co-editors William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca selected thirty photographers from the 3,000 or so artists who have been nominated since the award's founding in 2008. Adopting a broad definition of humanitarian photography, they sought work with a visible humanitarian impulse and attributes such as care, dignity, and empathy.

The result is a diverse, stimulating, and at times, surprising visual display that is very different from the 'breaking news' images we often associate with humanitarian action. What sets these photographs apart? An unerring sense of compassion.

This compelling collection, titled Human.Kind., underlines the power of contemporary photography to move us and inspire positive change in the world.
