Departures, journeys and arrivals in around 200 photographs:
The Family of Migrants brings together 136 photographers from around the world, presenting both iconic and lesser-known images that illustrate
migration as a timeless phenomenon (Arabic edition).
The Family of Migrants is inspired by the legendary exhibition The Family of Man, an ode to humanity created by photographer and curator Edward Steichen, that opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955. This book features around 200 photographs and will show the most striking photography that tells universal, timeless stories of human existence, such as departure, journey and arrival, and themes like family, loss and love.
Among the hundreds of images are iconic as well as unknown photos by, among many others, James Nachtwey, Margaret Bourke-White, Robert Capa, Imogen Cunningham, Mary Ellen Mark, Steve McCurry, Stephan Vanfleteren, Lewis Hine, Chien-Chi Chang, Abbas Attar, Robert de Hartogh, Wang Fuchun,
