Evocative
images inspired by protest songs, many taken with Nokia Lumia 920
smartphones are being projected onto the exterior of the Tate Modern art
gallery in London.
This event, on the evenings of 11-13 June, marks Nokia’s new partnership with the ONE Campaign, which works to eradicate extreme poverty around the world.
Prominent photojournalists, bloggers, amateur photographers and
celebrities have taken the special images that are being projected onto
the Tate Modern.
We’ve got a selection of the images here:
agit8
Alongside the Tate Modern projections, a new music-based campaign, agit8, is being launched to showcase the progress that has been made against poverty, and to amplify calls for further action.
Nokia is helping to spread word of the campaign by capturing images from
around the world. People are being encouraged to share images, stories
and experiences that support the theme of ‘Progress through protest.’
The images are available to view and can be shared on Twitter using#nokiaxONECampaign or uploaded to Nokia’s official Facebookpage.
The ONE Campaign says that extreme poverty has been halved around the
world in the last 20 years and it could be virtually eliminated
altogether by 2030 – if we act now.
The agit8 campaign
features new video recordings of classic protest songs and impromptu
live performances. A new film will also be projected on the iconic
façade of the Tate Modern.
Artists taking part in agit8, include Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons, Elvis Costello, Angelique Kidjo, Rokia Traore, Tom Morello and Macklemore.
Exclusive videos of their performances, plus beautiful images that reflect the power of the protest song, are available atone.org/protestsongs.
