Coming up - Ed Kashi’s Exhibition of Photos from Madagascar

Posted on 29 March 2010

The time has almost arrived for us all to be able to see the incredible pictures that Ed Kashi took at the start of the year as part of the Prix Pictet commission. I hope that you’re all as exited as I am to finally see these pictures in print. The exhibition will open on the 20th of April at the Diemar/Noble Gallery, London, and will run until the 1st May 2010 and we’d love all supporters of Azafady and Madagascar to come! Ed’s an artist who was not afraid to get his hands dirty and get involved on the frontiers of sustainability - and I think that this clearly shows in the amazing photos that he has produced.

From standing knee-deep in mud to capture the process of ‘mangosy’ (ploughing) to helping the fisherman of the lake Anosy bring in their meagre catch, Ed worked closely with local communities and Azafady staff to document the ongoing struggle to produce a livelihood from an increasingly exhausted environment. We’re very proud of the results and the fantastic association with Pictet and such a compassionate and prestigious artist. The exhibition from the 21st is free to attend and details can be found in the link below - enjoy and hopefully see you there!
