The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017
Culture is future
In Africa there are still too many countries whose inhabitants live in extreme poverty. In many of them it is because corrupt governments slow down the advancement of culture to manipulate people, often generating violence and lack of organization for social development. Education and culture are the future and the protagonists of these photographs, taken in very poor villages, are struggling to receive the education to some day change the values of a society and improve the quality of life of all.
