Collaborations for Cause 31:39 World Vision – Content Is Not King | Collaborations for Cause 2017 The role of content and image in fulfilling storytelling, marketing and editorial needs at World Vision US. Tom Costanza spent the sixteen years as television news photographer at stations from Scranton to Seattle covering everything from presidential inaugurations and shuttle launches to earthquakes, hurricanes, and house fires. TV news helped him develop resourcefulness, compassion, and solid storytelling skills. When the opportunity to work at World Vision presented itself, Tom was able to use storytelling for a cause. Since joining World Vision in July 2001, Tom has spent a good part of the last sixteen years on the road capturing stories, spending three weeks traveling around the world to cover the Asia tsunami and in 2010, the earthquake in Haiti. He’s reported on child soldiers in Uganda, street children in Mexico, AIDS in India, and hunger in the Horn of Africa. Fortunately, the many heart-rending moments have been balanced by witnessing the joy, faith, and resilience of the world’s extraordinary people, his camera reflecting their light in some of the world’s darkest places. Phil Manzano is the director of Content Development in the Brand & Campaigns division of World Vision US. Currently, he oversees a team of writers and photographers, publications and promotional content. Prior to World Vision, he worked at The Oregonian in Portland, Ore. for more than 25 years as a writer and editor.

Collaborations for Cause 35:02 Collaborations for Cause 2017 Panel Collaborations for Cause 30:09 Poulomi Basu Postmodernism in Photography and Transmedia Activism | Collaborations for Cause 2017 Poulomi Basu's body of work, A Ritual of Exile, investigates the causes and the consequences of normalized violence against women in Nepal. Perpetrated under the guise of Hindu tradition, the root cause of this violence is the belief in the impurity of a women’s menstrual blood. Hidden, under-reported and unresolved, these women are untouchable and, as a result, this violence takes the form of ‘exiles,” a way to keep menstruation shrouded in mystery and taboo, a weapon to shame women into subservience. In a world that is ravaged by war, the media is often full of images of those affected by conflict but, for many, the conflict begins at home. This multidisciplinary project, combining still photography and virtual reality films, is designed to reach multiple audiences across different platforms, including print, virtual and physical installations. "I want to turn my audience into activists and crack open the veil of silence and shame around women whose lives are shattered by such gender based violence," Basu says. A Ritual of Exile reveals how the chaupadi ritual disrupts the lives of girls, exposes them to recurring danger and imposes unjust restrictions on women throughout their lives. Poulomi Basu is a storyteller, artist and activist. Her name sounds like ‘follow me’ with a ‘P’. She was raised by her mother in Calcutta, India and found early inspiration in the city’s rich cinematic history. After her father’s sudden death when Poulomi was 17, her mother told her to leave home, to follow her dreams and live a life of breadth and choices that was denied to her. Since then, Poulomi prefers the path less trodden. She has slept in the wilderness under a cloudless sky staring at a million stars in search of a guerrilla army whose story strikes right at the very heart of modern India’s global ambitions, through to divided families eking out an Alaskan existence on the last rocky outpost of American soil. Time and again, she has found herself amongst ordinary people who quietly challenge the prevailing orthodoxies of the world in which they live: rural women in armed conflict, a mother's pain for a son lost to ISIS, to the wonder of a near blind child reaching for the light. Poulomi is forever in awe of the resilience shown by those in extraordinary circumstance, by those who are bent but not broken. Poulomi’s work has become known for documenting the role of women in isolated communities and conflict zones and more generally for advocating for the rights of women. In December 2015, she shared a platform with the parents of the Nirbhaya Delhi rape victim talking about her social activist initiative, The Rape in India Project. And, in January 2016 at the UN Young Changemakers Conclave, Poulomi spoke on the social impact of sustainable development with specific reference to her long-term project A Ritual of Exile and her collaboration with NGO Water Aid and their To Be A Girl campaign, which raised £2 million, using this material. Poulomi was featured alongside Hilary Clinton as one of the one of the 'Amazing women from around the world giving their best advice' by Refinery29. Poulomi was part of the VII Mentor Program. She is based between New Delhi and London. She has covered issues across Asia, Europe and America. She is co-founder and director of Just Another Photo Festival, a festival that democratizes photography by taking photography to the people and forging new audiences. Poulomi has also undertaken the 'Reporting in Crisis Zones' hostile management training at Columbia School of Journalism, kindly supported with a bursary from the Rory Peck Trust.

22:18 Gorongosa National Park - Piotr Naskrecki - WildSpeak Presentation 2016 Stories of success in nature conservation are much rarer than those of defeat. Yet restoration of Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique is one of such rare examples. Completely destroyed during a 20-year civil war, Gorongosa was able to rebound thanks to a unique partnership between a US-based NGO and the Mozambican government. An important tool in the park’s recovery was the use of film and photography to bring the park into the public’s awareness, and turn the perception of Mozambique from that of a war-torn place to a unique ecotourism destination. Blue Earth Alliance 20:28 Carlton Ward Jr. - Florida Wildlife Corridor | Wildspeak Presentation 2016 Carlton Ward Jr. has been working for years on the Florida Wildlife Corridor that aims to connect, protect, and restore corridors of conserved lands and waters essential for the survival of Florida’s diverse wildlife. Blue Earth Alliance 22:16 Jaime Rojo - The Living Med | Wildspeak Presentation 2016 Jaime Rojo presents The Living Med The Living Med is an ambitious nature photography and multimedia communications project, with the conservation of the Mediterranean Basin at its heart. The Mediterranean hotspot expands well beyond its shores, and it is one of the most biologically and culturally diverse regions in the world, and one of the most threatened too. From the wetlands of the Balkans to the cold Cedar forests of Northern Africa, follow the work of three Spanish photographers united in their mission to protect this vast ecoregion. For more information on this effort see http://www.thelivingmed.org/ Blue Earth Alliance 18:07 Mangroves The Skin of our Coasts - Octavio Aburto - WildSpeak Presentation 2016 Mangroves, the forests forming the transition between land and sea, provide numerous ecosystem services. Mangroves protect the shoreline and provide essential nursery habitat for many species. Despite these benefits, we continue to destroy them at an alarming rate; so fast in fact, that in the last 50 years we have lost almost 50% of the earth’s mangrove forests. “Mangroves: the skin of our coasts” is a new communication campaign to stop the deforestation of these incredible forests.

Blue Earth Alliance 32:09 Sandesh Kadur - India's Mountains of Life - WildSpeak Presentation 2016 The Himalaya and the Western Ghats, two of India’s great mountain ranges, hold within their folds, many mysteries - unnamed species, primeval cultures and the promise of magical cures that can heal all of humanity. Documenting these mountains and their bio-cultural richness has been something of a passion for Sandesh Kadur. Working closely with ATREE, a conservation organization, Sandesh’s work over the last two decades, in the form of books and documentaries, has brought a much-needed spotlight on two little known regions. These books and documentaries served as ammunition in helping get the Western Ghats declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As India continues forward in its economic growth, and its population continues to increase, it will be more and more critical to protect these mountains of life into the future. Blue Earth Alliance 37:44 Garth Lenz - Extreme Oil, Infrastructure, and Our Warming Planet - WiLDSPEAK Presentation 2016 As we approach peak conventional oil, we are relying increasingly on so-called unconventional or extreme oil sources. Tar Sands, fracking, Bakken crude, as well as the ever increasing associated pipelines, bomb trains, and other infrastructure entrench us to fossil fuel dependence which is the greatest threat to the future of the planet. Join Garth as he illustrates these issues, their impacts and discusses possible solutions.
