I been down to Quai Branly these afternoon, an despite the cold wind, it was very pleasing to see lots of good work from around the world in an open air exhibit.
One of the approaches of the festival is to show work done by collectives and agencies around the globe.
As Michel Philippot ( one of the curators) introduces it:
" Every minute of the day, in every part of the world, an event is taking place that will deeply affect everyone involved. This does not only apply to disasters with grave repercussions...... Here there are no special correspondents, just local photographers with the talent for getting us to experience in situ life both on a daily basis and in time of crisis. And by showing us these events through their eyes, these photographers attempt to break our often stereotyped visions of the outside world..."
So here are the links to some of these agencies and collectives presented at Photo Quai:
Africa: Afriphoto
Russia: Russian Tearoom
Cuba: Liudmila & Nelson
Central Asia and Caucasus: Patker Photo
Argentina: Sudaca Photos
Mexico and Latin America: Cooperativa de Fotographos
Bangladesh: Drik Picture Library
Brazil: Cia de Foto
