ONLY HUMAN is an international photographic exhibit that inspires dialogue about the shared human condition, moves beyond stereotypes, and challenges people to recognize the unity within humanity’s cultural diversity. It is an exhibit that calls on the people of the world to talk to the people of the world about the people of the world. ONLY HUMAN is a visual narrative that communicates that although no two people, cultures, or nations are alike, we all are united by our shared human nature. The goal is to shed some positive light on a world divided by conflict by reminding people that we are all ultimately on the same “team” — “that there is no enemy, there is no stranger. All humanity is one.” We wish to inspire mutual respect, understanding, and a desire to know one another.
With that in mind, we are inviting professional and amateur photographers from around the world to share what they believe it means to be human. This is an opportunity for photographers to use the power of image to speak to the world, about both cultural identity and shared human identity. Each photo will be a piece of a puzzle that, when whole, paints a picture of an existence unique to the human experience.
The ONLY HUMAN exhibit will initially be exhibited in San Francisco, California, USA-one of the world’s most multicultural cities-starting April 2007. The exhibit will not be confined to the space of a museum, but will be held outdoors, accessible to an audience of all socio-economic conditions. Additionally, ONLY HUMAN will be made available to a larger international audience through our online exhibit and exhibit catalog.
This is a not-for-profit project and any proceeds that may result from the project will be donated to equal rights and humanitarian organizations such as Amnesty International or the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent. It is important that we collect submissions from every corner of the Earth in order to give ONLY HUMAN the global voice it needs. Thus, please feel free to spread the word about the ONLY HUMAN exhibit around the world and back.
