Posted November 7, 2013 in Arts

Style: "vvv"

World-renowned photojournalist Marcus Bleasdale gives us an insight into the life of a smallholder farmer in developing countries.

In the emotive exhibition ”Farming out of poverty” he shows both the beauty and the misery of the victim’s life.

 

1.2 billion people suffer from severe poverty and hunger. Marcus spent a month in Africa and Latin America to highlight the high impact solutions for this of multiple organizations.

Marcus aims to open peoples’ eyes and increase interest to help this cause with his work. His previous work on human rights and conflict has been globally recognized and shown in many different countries.

The exhibition is full of beautiful photography that depict the reality many parts of the world live in. This is perfect for those who are very interested in environmental issues and human rights who want it depicted in a more artistic and emotional way.  It is also for those who just love beautiful photography. Either way, it’s an enlightening collection of work and worth a look!
