Mohd presents "Water Warriors"
The warrior women from Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia are the protagonists of “Water Warriors”, the exhibition of the American National Geographic press photographer Lynn Johnson. An extraordinary reportage that shows off the daily straggle for water in the Sub Saharan African countries. Mohd has chosen to be partner of the event that will be present in Milan (23/03 - 20/04), Messina (24/04 - 24/05) and Naples (04/07 - 01/08). The exhibition, actually located in the House of Memory in Milan, was born from the need to document the effects of the extreme climatic conditions on the life of developing populations. Difficulties aggravated by the almost total absence of water in many African territories.
Lynn Johnson, that will take part in the inauguration of the Milanese exhibition, is one of the most important personalities in the press contemporary photography world for her reportage and the presence such National Geographic board member. She belongs to the John S. Knight press association and has won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for the wonderful reportage over disadvantage populations.
“Water Warriors” tells an authentic daily war lead by the warrior woman to find out the water: often in small and contaminated quantity. The visitor will discover a distant world from the European vision, where poverty and suffering are telling with sensitivity and mastery.
Lynn Johnson said: “We got the responsibility to be both educators and journalists. Our task consists of not manipulating people but honoring their stories to share a vision above their life. We have to help people to watch things that they should not want to see. When the reportage deals with a complex subject, we always look for a subject that can symbolize the crucial aspects".
The exhibition is produced for Italy exclusively by Bluocean, official National Geographic partner, and belongs to the collection “The most important contemporary photographer, Bluocean’s Open Exhibitions”. Members of the Italian National Geographic board will take part at the Messina’s exhibition in April.
