AT WORK

PROOF: Media for Social Justice

PROOF is dedicated to the power of visual artists to bear witness, and create images that can make the anonymous waves of human rights tragedies into personal and immediate calls to action. PROOF has brought together photographers, documentarians, academics and journalists from different media sources in an alliance to reach out and educate with images that inspire and motivate change.  We produce exhibitions, publications, theatre and on site activities in nations with some of the world’s most difficult recent histories.
