Visual culture has been historically central to the abolitionist movement, and photography has breathed new life into forms of visual protest. From documentary photography that attempts to capture the horrific reality of modern slavery, to survivor-generated images that capture everyday efforts to survive, contemporary photography adopts numerous lenses in order to challenge stereotypes and raise awareness against modern day slavery. This collection gathers some of the most impactful images and collections in the contemporary anti-slavery moment.
