Photography for the Majority World

You can find a podcast of an illuminating discussion at Open Democracy between Charlie Devereaux and Suvenda Chatterjee of the Drik photo agency, which was founded nearly two decadess ago in Bangladesh. According to the agency web site, the photographers associated with Drik are animated by "a common vision; one that sees the majority world, not as fodder for disaster reporting, but as a vibrant source of human energy and a challenge to an exploitative global economic system." Given the wide range of initiatives Drik has undertaken (photofestival, photography insititute, etc.), it is worth a visit to their web site.
