PHOTOGRAPHY: Rankin: “cheka kidogo”:

Earlier this year, celebrated photographer Rankin briefly turned his back on the glitz and glamour and took his camera to the refugee camps of the war-torn DR Congo. These portraits – now part of a stunning exhibition on London’s South Bank – capture the true personalities of people living in one of the most troubled places on earth.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Tourism Concern: Online Exhibition – Kenyan hotel workers

This exhibition formed a part of our ‘Sun, Sand, Sea and Sweatshops’ campaign, which focused on exploitative labour conditions within tourism. Our research demonstrated that tourism workers have always been vulnerable and suffer from poor working conditions.
