PhotoVoice Auction of Exceptional Photographs 2010

Tuesday 23rd November Thomson Reuters 30 Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14 5EP


PhotoVoice Auction 2010

Foreword Congratulations are in order. This year marks the 10th anniversary of PhotoVoice. Through this decade, the charity – active in a multitude of ways that share the common thread of photography – has built a most impressive momentum. The annual PhotoVoice auction has become a rallying point for photo-enthusiasts of every stripe – professional and amateur photographers, agents, collectors, critics, teachers, students. Through the generous gestures of all who participate – by giving works, organising and promoting the event or taking part in the bidding – shared passions are directed towards enabling others, less privileged, to use photographic picture-making as an affirmation of identity and of community. Looking at the images coming together for this anniversary auction I realise that they provide a fascinating and exemplary review of the best of photography today. Here are fine examples of contemporary practice within every genre – with a terrific selection of classic icons for good measure. Potential bidders should remember the axiom that ‘Now never happens twice’ and opportunities such as this – to bid on and hopefully secure these splendid prints and, in doing so, to make a real contribution to the lives of others – must be seized with passion.

Projects

PhotoVoice is an award-winning international charity. Our projects enable those who are traditionally the subjects of photographs to become their creators. Through photography, these individuals find the confidence to speak out about their challenges, concerns, hopes and fears.

PhotoVoice’s vision is for a world in which no one is denied the opportunity to speak out and be heard. PhotoVoice’s mission is to build skills within disadvantaged and marginalised communities using innovative participatory photography and digital storytelling methods so that they have the opportunity to represent themselves and create tools for advocacy and communications to achieve positive social change.

PhotoVoice’s partners are involved in every project – be they an international NGO or a local community organisation.

PhotoVoice works in the UK and internationally, with projects spanning four continents. We work with a wide range of people who are marginalised, at risk and discriminated against because of factors including poverty, ethnicity, age, health, disability and HIV status. We provide an international platform for these groups to show their work and advocate for change. Why Photography? The power of photography lies in its dual role as an art form and a means to record facts. It provides an accessible way to define realities, communicate perspectives and raise awareness of important social and global issues. Photography crosses cultural and linguistic barriers for people of all ages and can be adapted to all abilities. Its relative low cost and ease of dissemination provides the potential to generate dialogue and discussion.

Here is a taste of our 2010 projects:Thanks to all of our project partners, facilitators and volunteers. UK

The Waiting project in Glasgow, aims at stabilising the lives of its young beneficiaries waiting to secure permanent accommodation and to prevent their exposure or regression into drugs, alcohol, harmful and disruptive behaviour. It will provide concrete creative and life skills by training hostel-based young people in participatory photography. Their work will be exhibited in public spaces to raise awareness of their situtaion. Making the Change, our project with young disabled people across the North West of England, culminated with the young people sharing their photographs and opinions with special education needs service providers and Local Authority staff at a one day event. Providers and staff pledged positive changes to the way young people are supported to transition from child to adult services.

The Having Our Say project has been working with young people affected by sexual exploitation to express themselves through photography and build their confidence to speak out about the issues affecting them. A project celebration in October launched a youthfocused publication of their work and a travelling exhibition.

Our bursary scheme, the John Kobal New Work Award, was given to Gary Waite from Sights Unseen and Masoud Shinwari from Moving Lives, to support the continuation of their photography training.

International

Young people living with HIV/AIDS in St Petersburg, and young Roma people in a community affected by HIV in Bosnia Herzegovina, created work that was shown at the International Aids Congress in Vienna in July 2010 as part of the World Vision Youth as Agents for Change – Direct Voices campaign. Working with Amnesty International on their Dignity Campaign, led us to Paraguay. We Are Only Asking for What is Ours, is a project that worked with young people from three landless, indigenous minority communities to create campaign images about their situation, complementing a global campaign for the return of their land.

Photographic workshops ran in India in partnership with Safai Karmachari Andolan which provided members of the Dalit (‘untouchable’) community with the opportunity to create images to feed into the Dalit Solidarity Network UK’s Foul Play campaign to end the illegal practice of manual scavenging (cleaning dry latrines by hand). Visible Rights, a project with young people in Afghanistan, began in June with the help of our partner Media Support Partnership Afghanistan. High school students and NGO staff participated in photography workshops that produced work that will be exhibited around Kabul to raise awareness of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child. 2011…

Massimo Vitali Marina di Pietrasanta, 2009 C Type print under plexiglass, 9.5" x 7.5" Limited Edition 10/35, signed authenticity label, printed 2009 Massimo Vitali was born in 1944, in Como, Italy. World famous for his Italian beach panoramas, Massimo began his career as a photojournalist, going on to work as a cinematographer for TV & cinema, only returning to photography to start working on the beach series in 1995. These images show a sanitised, complacent view of Italian normalities, at the same time as revealing the inner conditions and disturbances of normality: it’s cosmetic fakery, sexual innuendo, co-modified leisure, deluded sense of affluence and rigid conformism. Highly recognisable and highly collectable Massimo has expanded his work to include the beaches of Cornwall for the Sunday Times Magazine, crowds on holiday in the Canary Islands for Boots, Wallpaper Magazine and The New York Times. He lives and works in Lucca, Italy, and in Berlin, Germany.
