The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has collaborated with the Prix Pictet, the world's premier photography and sustainability prize, to present a unique perspective on humanitarian photography. Co-editors William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca carefully selected thirty photographers from the 5,000 nominees since the award's inception in 2008. They sought out work that exhibited a clear humanitarian impulse and qualities such as care, dignity, and empathy. The result is a diverse, thought-provoking, and occasionally surprising visual exhibition that deviates from the typical "breaking news images" associated with humanitarian action. What distinguishes these photographs is their unwavering sense of compassion. This captivating collection underscores the ability of contemporary photography to evoke emotions and drive positive change in the world.
