ZEN FOTO GALLERY

We are creating an exhibition of work by photographers who've been covering the impact of the quake and tsunami in the Tohoku region.

We aim to produce an exhibition to show how the region has been affected, and the exhibition will include a range of styles and subjects – from scenes of destruction in devastated towns to the daily lives of people trying to survive and rebuild.

It's very short notice, as we will open the exhibition on April 15, and we are also negotiating to hold a sister exhibition in Beijing from 25th April using the same images (Zen Foto would take care of double printing). If successful we will also offer the exhibition for show in major cities – such as New York, London, Paris.

This exhibition is not commercial. It is to spread awareness of the extent of devastation up north and to try to help in a small way. People who come to theexhibition can donate to selected, reputable NGOs working on quake relief. We are also telling photographers that if there is interest in the work individually or as a group, and they would be willing to sell it, Zen can arrange donation of proceeds to Tohoku relief.
