The 350 Movement Gaining Terrific Momentum
The success of the 350 project this Saturday has been great news. A lot of Ed’s work, certainly Curse of the Black Gold, has shown an active concern for the well-being of the global environment. We’re pleased to see that this incredible demonstration went so well.
“On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5,200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.”

Brilliant News!
There is great news out of Paris today. The Prix Pictet Award was announced and the photographer Nadav Kandar won the grand prize! Ed Kashi was the runner up with a commission to work with and document the efforts of Azafady, a UK charity and registered NGO, in Madagascar. We are still thrilled to have been shortlisted by the Prix Pictet, but we are extremely excited to be given the opportunity to work with Azafady.
The Prix Pictet is an extraordinarily prestigious prize that knows powerful art has a powerful impact. Their agenda is so focused, the panel of judges so impressive, that to be nominated is an honor. It is truly a league of its own. Saying we’re honored is not half hearted or out of ceremony: we are flattered. What is possibly more of an honor is for them to commission Ed, to acknowledge his work as forceful and partner with him to raise awareness about the environmental degradation in Madagascar and highlight solutions that are being initiated by Azafady.
Please follow this link to read more about what's ahead for Ed.
Thank You Pictet!
Thank you, London Times, as well, for the great coverage we received last Sunday before today's event. Below is the spread they published. It came out wonderfully.
