WITH IMPACT IN MIND
EXHIBITION 

​​​​

Curatorial Statement:​

​

"With Impact in Mind" is a photography exhibition that demonstrates how visual storytelling can change the way we see the world and inspire positive change. Through the work of 14 photographers from 12 African countries, this exhibition shines a light on critical issues like climate change, showing how floods and droughts impact vulnerable communities. It also celebrates the strength of people working in challenging situations, such as healthcare workers. By giving a platform to those whose stories are often overlooked, we aim to raise awareness and encourage photographers to use their skills to tell important stories and work directly with communities to make a difference.

​

This exhibition is part of Unpublished Africa's Photography Week, which explored how photography can be used for social impact. We believe that photography can be a powerful tool for documenting important issues, challenging existing perspectives, and building a fairer world. We invite you to engage with the photographs, think about the stories they tell, and consider how visual storytelling can lead to real change.

​

This exhibition directly addresses the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• SDG 13: Climate Action: By documenting the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities.

• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being: By highlighting the challenges faced by healthcare workers.

• SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities: By giving voice to underrepresented communities.
