21-27 march #NOORtakeover
In 1979 the United Nations General Assembly established a Week of Solidarity with the Peoples struggling against Racism and Racial Discrimination.
In occasion of this celebration, from 21 to 27 March NOOR photographers Nina Berman and Jon Lowenstein will takeover the noorimages instagram feed to showcase their work on racial discrimination in America and the ways in which - from the BlackLivesMatter movement to the protests against Islamophobia - activists and civil rights movements are struggling for rights in an attempt to break the cycle of violence and racism.

В рамках специальной программы для широкой общественности по случаю Мастер-класса NOOR-Nikon в Казахстане 2016, мы рады пригласить вас провести вечер с фотографами NOOR Юрием Козыревым (Россия), Бенедикт Курзен (Франция) и Себастьяном Листом (Испания), чтобы ближе познакомиться с визуальной и документальной журналистикой.
Каждый фотограф представит один из своих долгосрочных проектов: Юрий Козырев расскажет про освещение «арабских» волнений, Бенедикт Курзен поделится информацией о ее работе в Нигерии, получившей широкий охват - от новостных репортажей для международных медиа и до местных публичных выставок, включавших в себя архивные материалы. Себастьян Лист представит свой текущий проект о преступлениях, системе наказаний и системе безопасности в Латинской Америке.
Фотографы NOOR также будут рассказывать о стратегиях конструирования визуальных нарративов и том, как и почему они решили инвестировать свое время и ресурсы в проекты.

noor winners of world press photo 2016
We are pleased to announce that NOOR photographers Francesco Zizola and Sebastián Liste have been awarded in WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2016!
Francesco Zizola has been awarded 2nd prize in the Contemporary Issues category of World Press Photo 2016 for his series 'In the Same Boat'.
"Last summer MSF launched three boats for a search and rescue action in the Mediterranean Sea. It was a strong signal to all EU governments who had not been able to quickly address the ever-increasing influx of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean on unseaworthy vessels. This story is very important to me because in the few weeks I spent on board of the Bourbon Argos, I witnessed how essential it is to be present and efficient when lives are at stake. Thanks to the great work of MSF over three thousands lives were saved."Francesco Zizola
Sebastián Liste has won 3rd prize in the Daily Life category of World Press Photo 2016 for his story 'Citizen Journalism in Brazil's Favelas'.
"You know that the world is changing when you meet a group of young people that are using social media to fight against police brutally and to protect human rights in their marginalized community. This collective of citizen journalists was ignored by traditional media and threatened by the authorities. I am glad that World Press Photo will allow them to get the international attention they deserve" Sebastián Liste
