Precarious prospects: oil in Northern Kenya – exhibition
From 8 January to 2 February a photo exhibition 'Precarious Prospects: oil in Northern Kenya' will be on display at the Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre. This exhibition includes images which tell the story of changing lives and livelihoods in Lokichar, a small town in Turkana County, and surrounding villages that are at the centre of northern Kenya’s oil frontier. Featuring the work of acclaimed photographer Sven Torfinn and images from Turkana-based Evans Otieno, the exhibition captures changes in a locale whose fortunes have become inseparable from the highs and lows of the global resource economy.
