Outernational • 2010

A presentation of compelling photo documentary work by members of Metro Collective, an international coalition of award-winning photographers.

Portfolios include vibrant portraits from Garcia-Marquez's Colombia; a long-term look at post-Soviet Belarus, stuck in a netherworld between Europe and Russia; a surprisingly poetic take on Albanian blood feuds; inside the slums of Mumbai; a fading way of life in rural Ukraine; an impressionistic view of a Hispanic main street in the heart of Washington DC; the hardships of Iraqi refugees in the US; one young girl's daily struggle in the shadow of the Chernobyl catastrophe; life in one of the poorest Native American reservations; the pathos and sensual vitality of pre-earthquake Haiti; subtle observations of the Israel-Palestine conflict's impact on the land itself; and a provocative photo essay on the modern-day 'crusades' in Iraq and Afghanistan.
