All About Photo is pleased to present 'The Country that Drowned' by Jan Grarup

The climate crisis is no longer just the future It takes place now and here. It demands human life and it destroys the future of children. South Sudan is experiencing severe floods in its fourth year, which is a direct consequence of climate change. 800,000 people have lost their homes to the water masses, and every day that number is getting bigger. The roads are washed away along with crops, cattle, clean water and toilets. Emergency aid in the form of food and medicine cannot emerge and people are fighting across the dry land against poisonous snakes and crocodiles. The stagnant water has caused the mosquito population to explode - and with them also the cases of malaria. South Sudan is a country that is moving towards a death sentence if we do not act now. The people, and especially the children, are in dire need of a helping hand that comes with clean water, food, medicine, and toilets.

Sandrine Hermand-Grisel is the curator for this month's show.

Part of the exclusive online showroom developed by All About Photo, this exhibition is on view for the months of March and April 2022 and includes twenty photographs from the series 'The Country that Drowned.'

Why are these pictures in black and white? Is it to make it seem that Africa is stuck in the past?

Are they swimming or drowning? Seeing a lot of people in distress caught on camera. Is the entire country experiencing this?

Even in crisis, kids will find an outlet, will find some joy. ✌️

Where are the drills plows and backhoes to open a way for the water to drain? Where is the irrigation system?
