Come visit the World Press Photo Exhibition 2019 on its world-wide tour showcasing the stories that matter! News photographs and stories from all over the world are seen in this exhibition. From environmental issues to sports, there will be something for everyone. This years’ exhibition is particularly special for Tanzania because one of the winning stories includes photos made by Anna Boyiazis of women having swimming lessons from instructor Kazija in Zanzibar.

OPEN DISCUSSION ON PHOTO JOURNALISM

Is telling your thoughts, perceptions and stories through photography your dream? Then this could be something for you! On Friday 1 February 2019, 15:00 pm at the Alliance Française (Dar es Salaam), Hivos together with Tamwa will organize an open discussion about photojournalism in which experts from the field will exchange their experiences and thoughts.  Even more exciting is that during this event two local photographers will be awarded with a grant of EUR 5,000 each from Voice, a partnership of Hivos and Oxfam Novib! Keep an eye on the Facebook page of the Netherlands embassy @DutchembassyTanzania and Hivos @HivosEastAfrica for more information about how to apply for the competition.
