President of Magnum for a record five years, his 1971 publication ‘Viet Nam Inc ‘ was a crucial influence in changing public opinion in the US at the time of the conflict. • His new book presents a period much closer to home, with many previously unseen images taken of Britain in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. • Griffiths’s pictures depict social and political affairs, and landmark events over three decades of change and upheaval in Great Britain. • From the Beatles in Liverpool and coalminers in Wales, to CND marches on the streets of London and funeral processions in Northern Ireland, the images are acute, human, and full of his trademark perceptive commentary. • Recollections presents a domestic revolution from one of the world’s greatest photographers, whose international fame covering a country on the other side of the world, is now put in the context of his equally incisive work at home. Born in Rhuddlan, Wales, 1936, Philip Jones Griffiths studied pharmacy in Liverpool and worked in London while photographing part-time for the Manchester Guardian. In 1961 he became a full-time freelancer for the London-based Observer, when many of these images were taken. He became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1971. Philip Jones Griffiths was honored in 2007 for Achievement in Photojournalism, at the 5th Annual Lucie Awards in New York. He died on the 19th March 2008. Also by Philip Jones Griffiths: Agent Orange - Collateral Damage in Viet Nam (Trolley, 2003) Viet Nam at Peace (Trolley, 2005) NEW LONDONERS - REFLECTIONS ON HOME PHOTOVOICE • These are the photographs and writings by 12 young refugees, living in London, who have been mentored by established photographers as part of the work by the charity PhotoVoice. • Their stories personalise the lives behind the labels – through their images and words, we understand something more of London through their eyes, and of their lives as young people finding their place in a new city, far from home. • With introductions by the broadcaster George Alagiah, writer Hari Kunzru and critic Charlotte Cotton, the book shows a side of London from the point of view of some of the city’s newest arrivals. • The young people, aged 16-23, come from around the world, all with their own diverse experiences and backgrounds. • Photographer mentors on the project include: Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Gayle Chong Kwan, Suki Dhanda, Jillian Edelstein, Jenny Matthews, Sarah Moon, and Othello de Souza Hartley. Since 1999 PhotoVoice has initiated over 21 projects working in over 12 different countries with over 1000 beneficiaries, pioneering the use of photography with refugee groups, street children, the homeless and HIV/ AIDS sufferers.

It is a land of stark beauty but also one engulfed in conflict; for centuries, empires, states and warring tribes have fought for control of this most inaccessible mountainous region with varying degrees of success. • Since the first Gulf War a myriad of unsettling images, together with the alienating effect of the language of the so-called “war on terror”, have created a deep divide between nations and cultures of the Middle East and West. • This year the Kurdish Human Rights Project (KHRP) celebrates its 15th anniversary - commissioned by the Delfina Foundation, this book brings together images by world-famous photographers to celebrate the life and times of the Kurdish people over the last two decades. • Susan Meiseles (Magnum Photos) and Jan Grarup (Noor Images) are just two of the photographers whose images have touched on the beauty and vibrant heritage of the Kurds whilst traveling there to document the harsh realities of existence, as the Kurds are continuously denied the right of land, from every direction. KATRINA PERSONAL OBJECTS JARRET SCHECTER • Three years ago on August 29th 2005, Katrina, a natural hurricane, struck the city of New Orleans. • Nobody envisaged the damage and destruction it would wreak on the southern US city, and it became on a much greater scale a manmade disaster of civil engineering and social discrimination. • Because of government failure, millions viewed political ineptitude, social inequity and an unpaved America where the streets were lined with anything but gold. • The images in this book show the abandoned and hardest-hit district of the Lower Ninth Ward over two years later, and still counting today. • Vacant and dilapidated, the city is a shadow of its former self. However, in these seemingly lifeless shadows, and through the broken windows of empty houses, one can eerily see the ghostly reflections of life and death in the form of PERSONAL OBJECTS. • This small format book touches on the ephemeral, and surprisingly often beautiful, remnants of belongings that once made up the memories and precious moments of people’s lives.
