AFHny volunteers worked with photographer Jennifer MacFarlane to organize a photo auction which ultimately raised over $26,000 toward AFH International's reconstruction efforts in Sri Lanka in the wake of the December 2004 tsunami.
The anonymous exhibition featured prints from many
Magnum photographers including Burt Glinn, Steve McCurry, Susan Meiselas, and Martin Parr. Film-maker Francis Ford Coppola, architects Future Systems and Lebbeus Woods,
National Geographic photographer David Alan Harvey and
“Ancient Marks” photographer Chris Rainier also contributed alongside
Here is New York coordinator Charles Traub, director of Oscar-nominated “
Born into Brothels” and
Kids with Cameras founder Zana Briski, and
Bridges for Understanding activist Amanda Koster.
Photos were exhibited at ABC No Rio from January 27th to February 8th 2004, with the final silent auction held February 9th 2004 at The Carriage House Center.
