  • September 2006

The six photographers in the Open Society Foundation's Moving Walls 12 exhibit cover a range of subjects: entrenched poverty and discrimination in Europe and the United States, the path of diamonds from miner to consumer, an intimate view of the impact of stigma and violence, and the massive changes taking place in the new China.

The following catalog documenting Moving Walls 12 includes statements by the artists and a selection of photos.
