Dear Friends of FiftyCrows,

Come to the FiftyCrows Gallery on Thursday Nov. 5th for First Thursday gallery night to see Ed Kashi's exhibition. Ed's show is only up until Saturday Nov. 14th so don't miss his amazing photographs from his newly published book Three as well as his work in the Niger Delta, Curse of the Black Gold.

We are selling books from both bodies of work and still have 3 copies of Three left that Ed Kashi signed. All books are $45.

Thank you for your continued support of FiftyCrows and Social Change Photography.


WHERE:    49 Geary St Suite 225
                  San Francisco, CA 94108 

WHEN:      Thursday November 5th
                  4-7:30pm

.

THREE is a series of triptychs that explore the relationship between individual photographs, rather than relying on the isolated image. Every day we are surrounded by a cacophony of imagery, and Kashi has used this visual multi-tasking to his advantage. Whether they portray off-beat moments of human interaction, the contrast between barren landscapes and over-development, or subtle gestures that become universally significant, these triptychs are captivating visual harmonies that demand our attention.

CURSE OF THE BLACK GOLD is Kashi's graphic exposé on the effects of 50 years of oil in the Niger Delta. Despite having one of the world's largest oil reserves, the majority  of people in the Niger Delta survive on just one dollar a
day. Shot over a three-year period, images from Curse
of the Black Gold have appeared worldwide in magazines, newspapers, documentaries and exhibitions. The exhibition will feature two multimedia pieces created by Ed Kashi.
