Exhibit documents deaths of environmental activists
Print Edition
PHOTOGRAPHER Luke Duggleby recalled a meeting four years ago with Thai environmental activist Jintana Kaewkhao, who told him how she faced assassination attempts in her fight to block a coal-fired power plant along the coast in southern Thailand.
Jintana survived, but Charoen Wat-aksorn, who protested alongside her and fought against another coal-fired power plant in a nearby community, was shot dead in 2004.
The 39-year-old British photographer said the conversation with Jintana was pivotal, inspiring him to refocus his lens on the deadly battle for land, environmental and human rights.
“Ever since I met her, my views on everything changed. The type of work I wanted to cover changed,” said Duggleby, a photographer with the New York-based photo agency Redux Pictures, whose exhibition “For those who died trying” is running in Bangkok.
The 35 photos document 37 activists killed over the past 20 years.
“I saw the fine line between life and death when taking on a powerful opposition.”
