Ami Vitale – Kashmir

Ami’s journey as a photojournalist has taken her to more than 75
countries. She has witnessed civil unrest, poverty, destruction of life, and
unspeakable violence. But she has also experienced surreal beauty and the
enduring power of the human spirit, and she is committed to highlighting the
surprising and subtle similarities between cultures. Her photographs have been
xhibited around the world by the UN, Human Rights Watch, MSF, Oxfam, the
Open Society Institute, and many others.

Ami’s work has garnered the Photographer of the Year
International award, the Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Journalism,
Lucie awards, the Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding Reporting, the NPPA
Magazine Photographer of the Year award among many others. Now a contract
photographer with National Geographic, Ami is also senior producer for the Knight
Center for International Media.

You will find lots of information on the series in the text under every image.

Enjoy the exhibition Kashmir by Ami Vitale!

    A lot to see, a lot to learn.
    I like most when violence is a bit (as it can’t be far… unfortunatly) away, a lot of beauty …
    Thank you a lot for this exhibition !
