Скачать или смотреть Exposing environmental injustice: Zed Nelson at TEDxSOAS

Zed Nelson has gained international recognition and numerous awards during two decades spent as a documentary photographer. His work has been exhibited and published worldwide. Nelson's seminal book Gun Nation - a disturbing reflection on America's deadly love affair with the gun -- was published in twelve countries and awarded five major international photography prizes. Love Me, Nelson's second book, reflects on the cultural and commercial forces that drive a global obsession with youth and beauty. The project spanned five years, involved photography in 17 countries across five continents, and was recently nominated for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. Nelson's work has been exhibited at Tate Britain, the ICA and the National Portrait Gallery, and is in the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
