We created the collective with the belief that photography can be an effective tool in confronting systems of oppression and exploitation. Through visually documenting individual struggles against social injustice, economic profiteering, and environmental degradation, we hope to raise public awareness about these issues and thereby contribute to a broader societal debate. As individuals we’ve join
ed together in a collective because we believe in horizontal organizational structures, and the collective process are critical in creating a praxis for tackling the complex world in which we live. Both serve to challenge us as photographers to broaden our individual critiques and analysis. The collective acts as a check and balance against individual protagonism, thus taking us beyond our subjective experiences and limits. In short, the collective, is part of the world we seek to help construct.
