Open Society Institute Documentary Photography Project and Revenue Watch Institute hosted a panel discussion on oil in the Niger Delta and the use of photography in advocating for social change. Ed Kashi and Michael Watts discussed their new book Curse of the Black Gold: 50 Years of Oil in the Niger Delta.

Click here to view the excellent multi-media feature by Ed Kashi and Asume Isaac Osuoka. Would be great to see such work combined with Amnesty International’s campaign on this issue.
Thanks to duckrabbit for bringing this work to my attention.
