The CRUX Photgraphy Research Network will present two new Zoom panels, The Landscape of Inequality, to announce its first international thematic project of the same name. Join us to find out how you could become a Project member of Crux.
Many people believed the global free-market economy would generate wealth for all, but in fact it has polarized the world. Almost all inequality stems from human-enacted policies that affect income, educational and employment opportunity, housing or lack of housing, climate change, health care, migration, citizenship, discrimination, and racial and gender discrimination. In two nights, our panelists will present projects that address aspects of this landscape, including immigration and detention, the relationship between humans and nature and its impact on climate, the effect of housing inequities and marginalized communities. Join us Dec. 6th at 5:00 pm GMT and on Dec. 7th at 7:00 pm GMT to see some great work and to hear more about how to participate in our inaugural project.

Raymond Thompson, Jr., an Assistant Professor of Photojournalism at the University of Texas at Austin, is an artist, educator and visual journalist. In his presentation, What the Landscape Remembers?: Looking with Intention, he will be looking at two specific landscapes in West Virginia and North Carolina asking what the landscape remembers by pulling at the threads of family memory and historical ephemera and combining them with contemporary photographs to open up the connection between Black people in the American landscape.

Greg Constantine is an independent scholar, researcher and photographer. Since early 2006 he has photographed statelessness, migration and detention centers to expose the trauma of being stateless, how governments are increasingly using detention as a significant component of immigration and asylum policy and the impact, trauma and human cost detention has on asylum seekers, refugees, stateless people and migrants around the world.

David Ellingsen, is a Canadian photo-based artist working typically within long-term projects focusing on forests, biodiversity and climate. He draws upon his colonial family history, one often embedded within British Columbia’s troubled forest industry, and the photographs reflect on the impacts of resource extraction and consumption on past, present, and future eco-systems. Recent exhibitions include China’s Lishui Museum of Art, the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Lithuania’s Kaunas Photo Festival and Canada’s Campbell River Museum.

Johnny Miller, an award winning photographer and multimedia storyteller based in South Africa, uses aerial imagery in his series Unequal Scenes to show how government created housing inequities intentionally disenfranchise poor people worldwide. His images, which have been exhibited internationally, show us the literal “other side of the tracks.” He is also the co-founder of africanDRONE, a pan-African organization committed to using drones for good.
