Diamond Matters photo exhibition.

The pictures of Kadir van Lohuizen, assembled in the exhibition Diamond Matters, follow the route of a diamond; from Africa via India to the West. They show the dangerous alluvial mining in Sierra Leone, the poor working conditions of the diamond cutters in Surat, the jewish traders in Antwerp and finally the rich customers in cities like New York and Amsterdam.

Diamond Matters travels all over the world to raise awareness on the relationship between luxury products on the one hand and international trade and human rights on the other hand. The exhibition has received several prices, amongst others it was awarded with the second prize in the category "Contemporary Issues: stories", at the World Press Photo competition.

We have made a slection of photo's and collected them in a short movie:
