This month is exciting, on August 29th is the opening of my exhibition at the foto8/ Host gallery in London... The home of photojournalism! Here is the text from the invite: foto8/Host press release.
"The Long Road is a collaborative project between researcher and writer Clare Cook and photographer Kristian Skeie, whose images take us on the journey of the annual peace walk, a symbolic act of remembrance and dedication. The project pieces together the mosaic of life after genocide by looking at the struggle of the women of Srebrenica for justice and the new generation, born after the war, embarking on their own journey, which begins in an irreconciled community in which peace and prosperity seem a long way off".
