Sustok akimirka žavinga!: Foto paroda "Alghero Street Photography Awards: ASPA 2019"

Noriu su jumis pasidalinti gatvės fotografijos keliais laimėtojų kadrais iš Sardinijoje vykusios parodos. Man ši paroda labai patiko ir paliko didžiulį įspūdį, išėjau apsiverkusi...

Į parodą užėjom netikėtai, bet paroda ir baigėsi netikėtai :) Sekančią dieną norėjau grįžti, susižiūrėti autorius, bet durys buvo užrakintos - la mostra è finita. Teko paieškoti visagaliame internete daugiau informacijos, todėl nuorodoje rasite daugiau apie autorius, vietoves, istorijas ir, žinoma, daugiau gerų nuotraukų ir laimėjimų.

Indonesia supplies half the world’s palm oil, used in hundreds of foods and cosmetics products produced as well as biofuel. Palm oil plantations are replacing four-fifths of the rain forest in Indonesia and they are still expanding. I documented the disappearing Sumatran rain forest and life affected by this rapid deforestation in Indonesia. Orangutans are one of many victims of massive deforestation. They live in the wild in only two places, Sumatra and Borneo. Both species are now endangered, the Sumatran orangutan with only 6,600 left in the wild, fewer than 54,000 left in Borneo. Especially the unchecked burning of rain forests to clear land for palm oil plantations is driving orangutans to the brink of extinction in Indonesia.

The Borsos family of eight members lives in the village of Csanytelek, Csongrád county, Hungary. The everyday life and the problems of the family are perfect reflections of the problems of eastern Hungary. The main income of the family is the state aid they receive after each child, altogether 460 USD per month at the moment. Their disadvantaged situation under the poverty threshold is not unique: one-third of the population lives below the poverty line in Hungary, and more than 12% in extreme poverty. Mária and József not only have to deal with the difficulties of upbringing 6 children in their everyday lives, but also with the unemployment typical to the area. Both of them tries to do seasonal work in order to raise the monthly wage, but this work is as casual as underpaid. The bonds between parents and children are much stronger than the problems they have to face day by day, although living within the limits set by poverty.

The first menstruation is a turning point for every young woman in the world. In Nepal, this entry into adulthood is tied to a loss of purity. According to the Hindu faith, it is seen as a punishment for all women. In rural areas, menstrual women are exiled for a week, a practice known as Chhaupadi Partha. When they are on their period they are not allowed to enter their houses, visit the temples or cook. This year, Gauri Kumari Bayak, a 23-year-old woman, was found dead on a menstrual hut. Dozens of women and girls have died in recent years from following this tradition, despite the practice being banned by the Supreme Court in 2005. Women are constantly at risk of being bitten by snakes or choking from the fumes in the small, non-ventilated huts.Although these restrictions have existed for decades, Nepali society is changing rapidly, with Western influence being brought by widespread access to new technologies, which are steadily becoming more and more present in the everyday lives of its inhabitants. In August 2017, for the first time in the history, the country criminalized the isolation of the menstrual women with a three-month jail sentence or a 3,000 rupee fine ($30), or both, for anyone that forces a woman to follow the custom.In Kathmandu, a new generation of young people is reinventing traditions, making them their own. Some women from rural areas have started to question these practices and becoming activists. A growing number of them lead organizations and are empowering young girls in rural areas and teaching them about hygiene. Last May 2018, the Menstrual Hygiene Day was celebrated for the first time with the theme ‘Education about menstruation changes everything’. "Since I was a kid I have it clear, I was not going to go to the hut to sleep as my mother and sisters", says Radha Paudel, one of the first Menstrual Activists of Nepal and author. Now, she is teaching other women how to make their own rules.
