Prisoners of Conscience Photography Exhibition

The remarkable set of images in the exhibition were taken by an award-winning Getty Images photographer, who travelled anonymously and at great personal risk to Zimbabwe in the summer of 2009.  He photographed the plight of Zimbabwean exiles who had fled to neighbouring South Africa.

Man in Ruin by Unknown Artist

The photographer has allowed Prisoners of Conscience Appeal Fund to use his images without charge, for which we are enormously grateful.

His work illustrates clearly the violent extremes of the Mugabe regime and shows the reality of the conditions that many of our grant recipients have to endure as a result of their brave stance against the government.

The exhibition will run from Tuesday 31st August to Saturday 11th September at the Menier Gallery, 51 Southwark Street, London, SE11RU. Admission is free and the gallery will be open daily from 10am to 6pm (closed Sunday).  There will be someone from PoC on hand to answer any questions you may have about our work.
