Eight Ways to Change the World - Global

Produced by Panos Pictures, this online and in-person photography exhibition uses visual communication to draw attention and aid to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Eight photographers, each sponsored by a leading British development agency, produced a set of photographs from the developing world, along with a personal testimony about what the experience meant to him or her. Meant to ignite action, the photography communicates messages such as, “”Just because poverty is a long way away doesn’t mean there is nothing we can do to tackle it.”"
