Congratulations to Nadav Kander - Winner of Prix Pictet 2009

Madagascar Commission

Ed Kashi visited Madagascar in January to produce work for the Prix Pictet Commission. Kashi’s work tells the story of the environmental damage which is being done to this unique and threatened environment by the simple need of the people of Madagascar to live. His visit was in part facilitated by Azafady, the UK charity and Malagasy-registered NGO, who are working to help Madagascar’s poorest communities to develop sustainable ways of living and to increase local access to healthcare and education. The work Kashi made in Madagascar will be exhibited at the Diemar/Noble Photography Gallery in London, 20 April – 1 May 2010, and will be supported by the production of a short catalogue. More...
