Here's the formal announcement:
As increasingly urgent climate crises demand new paradigms for making and sharing images, this cohort features nine photographers whose projects reimagine what a critical and ecological photographic practice might look like. This cohort is the second of two cycles from the program, and the selected participants will each receive a $10,000 grant, take part in two in-person workshops, and connect with collaborative partners and networks.
They are:
Andrea Hernández Briceño, Venezuela (@andrernandez)Fatma Fahmy, Egypt (@fatmah.fahmy)Florence Goupil, Peru (@florence.goupil)Giya Makondo-Wills, United Kingdom / South Africa (@giyamakondowills)Kunga Tashi Lepcha, India (@kunga_tashi)Luis Antonio Rojas, Mexico (@luis.antonio.rojas)Ofoe Amegavie, Ghana (@ofoeamegavie)seth cardinal dodginghorse, Tsuut’ina Nation (@sadbirthdays)Zumrad Mirzalieva, Uzbekistan (@zuma.mir)
With projects on topics including climate-based migration, pollution-driven health disparities, and indigenous origin stories and collective memory, this international and interdisciplinary cohort not only offers intimate windows into the deep and wide-ranging impacts of the climate crisis, but also inspires pathways towards recovery and repair.
Over the course of the initiative, the fellows will develop and deepen their projects while coming together as a creative community in exploration and collaboration under the guidance of mentors Eric Gottesman (@ericgottesman), Nandita Raman (@nandita.raman), and Newsha Tavakolian (@newshatavakolian).
Like so many urgent global crises, climate change is a topic that is simultaneously widely covered yet persistently tuned out. With programs like this one, Magnum Foundation makes space for photographers shedding light on the profound impacts of these issues in their home communities to come together, experiment with new approaches, and deepen the impact of their work.
