Aperture Gallery – 547 West 27th Street, #4, New York December 3, 2014 – 6:30 PM
One day left to get your bids in!
Jason was very fortunate to be chosen to take part in the inaugural RISC (Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues) training course in New York, in 2012, and therefore honored to have one of his ‘Makasutu‘ portraits in the upcoming RISC Benefit & Silent Auction – which features the work of 46 photographers, a short program by RISC founder Sebastian Junger and Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas. Proceeds from ticket and auction sales will help RISC train and equip more freelance conflict journalists in emergency medical response. Bidding opens today – November 19 – online and ends at the benefit.
‘As a response to the increasing dangers they face worldwide, RISC trains journalists to treat life-threatening injuries in the field. The RISC Benefit and Silent Auction… . Proceeds from the auction and event will help RISC train and equip more conflict journalists in emergency medical response.’ RISC Auction
Other contributing photographers, to the auction, include: Richard Mosse, Tim Hetherington, Mike Kamber, Brendan Hoffman, Manjari Sharma, Seamus Murphy, Erica Larsen, Roger Ballen…
There is a real need for the kind of training that RISC gives to photojournalists – for free – who work in some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world. Please help support their cause – either by bidding or sharing about the auction.
We wish all success, for the final day of the auction tomorrow, to Sebastian Junger and all those involved in RISC Training.
Many thanks
The Florios – Helen & Jason
