Yuri Kozyrev & Kadir van Lohuizen, laureates of the Carmagniac Photojournalism Award
Yuri Kozyrev and Kadir van Lohuizen received the prestigious Carmignac Photojournalism Award and will begin in the coming weeks an unprecedented photographic and visual adventure. Yuri and Kadir will be the pioneers of a unique narrative.
Their double polar expedition project, "Arctic: New Frontier", will focus on the consequences of the melting of the sea ice for the planet, and the medium-term prospect of its total disappearance.
Yuri Kozyrev will travel towards the East and Kadir van Lohuizen will head West. Each of them will travel halfway across the Arctic Circle to meet in September in the Bering Strait.
From Russia to Norway, Greenland, Canada and Alaska, the two laureates will, in their respective areas of research, explore key issues affecting the Arctic - the opening of new trade routes, the militarisation of borders, the search for mineral resources, polar tourism, etc. – and their impact on our daily lives.

"The melting of the polar sea ice is in the process of changing the map of the world for ever. In visiting all the affected regions and countries in one expedition and by showing how the different players — starting with Russia and the U.S. — are working on conquering the North Pole, we will reveal how the impact of climate change in the Arctic is of global significance for the rest of the world." - Yuri Kozyrev & Kadir van Lohuizen

Robin Hammond's photograph for National Geographic's April front page
Robin Hammond has shot this month's front cover of National Geographic tackling the issue of Race.
“I had the privilege of shooting the cover of this month’s special issue on Race. 11 year old twins Millie (right) and Marcia (left) are from Birmingham, United Kingdom. Their mother calls them her “rainbow twins.” “They’re my miracles” she says. Race is a made-up label used to define and separate us. In its special race issue, National Geographic reports on the origins of scientific racism and how it has defined society as we know it. #IDefineMe. I’ll be sharing more images from the cover shoot and the feature I shot on genetics and race on my instagram channel" - Robin Hammond.
In Conversation - Nina Berman and Susan Meiselas
The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma will host photographers Nina Berman and Susan Meiselas for a conversation about their newly-released books, "An Autobiography of Miss Wish" and "A Room of Their Own."
In their respective projects, both photographers were confronted with finding fresh ways of telling documentary stories about traumatic experience and women searching for safety.
