Mozambique injustice

Standard

A German photographer and activist, Gregor Zielke, recently published photos and an article on the resettlement of many families living in Mozambique. The article itself was empowering, but one thing in particular stood out to me. 

When asked “how do you aspire to influence political debates with your work?” he responded with…

My aim is simply to put faces to the displaced communities, to show that the big companies are not moving around figures and a nameless “population”. They have names, they are mothers, fathers, grandparents and kids, all they want is to raise their families. That’s not asking much, is it?

About alicegardener

Everyone needs a space in which we convey what may float across our minds. To be interpreted and expressed to more minds than one. I believe there are three types of words; Fleeting, escaped and eternal. Fleeting happens when we think of words, escaped when we speak them aloud, and eternal when they are processed and written, to become immortal. I am a speaker and dreamer of words, and there's not much more to me than that.
