London, May 3 (HNA) – The World Press Photo Foundation presents a special exhibition as part of the celebrations for World Press Freedom Day, in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The exhibition documents protest and people power, featuring work awarded in the World Press Photo Contests from 1957. The independent juries of the World Press Photo Contests have over the years awarded many pictures of the protests, starting with Douglas Martin’s photograph of Dorothy Counts, a symbol of resistance against racism.
The exhibition shows images that, like Charlie Cole’s picture of Tiananmen Square, have become global symbols of people power and celebrates the work of professional photographers who are showing us the stories that matter. During a visit to the exhibition, basic Covid-19 rules apply.
