		<description><![CDATA[True to form and the stereotypes that are at times sadly true, Africa continues to be plagued by ethnic wars, tribal superiority and xenophobia. The latter unleashed itself in South Africa, where many African nationals have fled to, seeking respite from the harsh realities of their countries. South Africa is seen as a flicker of hope for these communities and sadly the promise of hope faded. As the violence broke in May 2008, with the locals attacking foreign nationals in many parts of the country, I decided to focus on the Somali community.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A permanent road movie is what Pablo lives when he drives through our Pampas, looking for images. People, animals, scenery, a mixture of discoveries and unexpected encounters. Pablo received a Guggenheim award to shoot around Argentina, and he has been doing this for years. He loves the countryside and its people. But he is also a bit skeptical. His essay is an ongoing project, a changing scene, a broken sign,  a car to sleep in, a photographic discovery, a simple idea: to shoot around unknown territory.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have spent all my life here, at the rhythm of Piedra Buena. This is my world, people know me and respect me as I walk on the street, the walls of the houses are cracking because of their age, like the faces of kids transformed by drugs and violence. I love my neighbourhood, I am proud of it, I will not leave this place, just as the other people do not want to leave, and if they have to, they move no further than 10 blocks away.]]></description>

The landscapes and portraits in the series “Samalada” are more like self-portraits, reflections of the self and meditations on life and death, past and present.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his Shade of Earth series, Kowsari captures the annual pilgrimage that many Iranians make to the Iran–Iraq war frontline. During the war (1980–1988), Iran lost over half a million soldiers and so each year hundreds of thousands of Iranians travel to the fronts to remember the family members they lost.  This trip is called ‘Rahian-e Noor’, or Caravan of Light, and is made in during ‘Noruz’, the Iranian New Year holiday in the last week of March. The former battle grounds become a theatre of grief for the mothers, sisters, brothers, fathers, wives, friends and families who take the long journey to remember.  Kowsari’s moving photographs of the pilgrims contemplating their loss, and the ceremonial processions of flag bearers amongst the barren wasteland of the former warzone, speak volumes about the impact of war on those left behind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am yet to meet someone who has not been not moved by Haiti’s beautiful landscapes, colorful streets and rich culture. Nor have I met anyone who was not shocked by its poverty. Haiti is full of contrast and complexity. I once heard someone say that “you can spend years in Haiti and still not understand the place.” In 1804 Haiti attracted the world’s attention by becoming the first black republic to declare independence. Today it attracts attention for being the poorest Nation in the Western Hemisphere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007. This resulted in several benefits for all parties concerned. Borders were opened and free travel between member states became possible. However, living standards and minority rights are below average in some new member States. As some Romanian gypsies have to endure harsh conditions in their country of origin, they use their right to search for happiness and opportunities in Belgium, only to find themselves in equally degrading circumstances.]]></description>
