From the organizers: Human, the theme for the tenth cycle of the Prix Pictet award delves into the vast spectrum of human experiences, emotions, relationships, and challenges that define our collective existence. MOPA@SDMA is the only US stop on the international tour of Prix Pictet Human. Prix Pictet Human showcases work from twelve international shortlisted photographers: Hoda Afshar, Iran Gera Artemova, Ukraine Ragnar Axelsson, Iceland Alessandro Cinque, Italy/Peru Siân Davey, UK Federico Ríos Escobar, Colombia Gauri Gill, India Michał Łuczak, Poland Yael Martínez, Mexico Richard Renaldi, US Vanessa Winship, UK/Bulgaria Vasantha Yogananthan, France The shortlisted portfolios span documentary, portraiture, landscape, and studies of light and process, and explore issues ranging from the plight of Indigenous peoples, conflict, childhood, the collapse of economic processes, to the traces of human habitation and industrial development, gang violence, border lands, and migration. Their work evaluates our role as stewards of the planet and sheds light on the critical issues of global sustainability, the central concern of the Prix Pictet since its inception 15 years ago. The Prix Pictet aims to uncover photographs that communicate important messages about global environmental and social issues within the broad theme of sustainability. Photographers are nominated and a jury selects the shortlist and winner for each cycle and theme. The Prix Pictet jury is comprised of a group of leading experts in the visual arts from around the world including directors of major museums and galleries as well as journalists and critics. They lead the global search for images of high artistic quality and narrative power and fit the theme of a particular cycle.
