I had the privilege of going to the Sebastiao Salgado “Exodus” exhibition at the Barbican Gallery in central London today. Focusing on Salgado’s Migration series of photographs, taken between 1993 and 1998, the exhibition is breath-taking, extremely saddening and, for me, ultimately overwhelming. Until I walked into that gallery I had no idea just how many different conflicts there are in the World, and how many victims. For Salgado to see so many in such a short space of time is an amazing achievement; the fact that hundreds of his photographs are so revelatory is even more amazing.
