Gallery For Justice bridges the gap between people with a mind for social justice and traditional print media.
The demise of traditional media has seen print magazines follow revenue raising celebrity gossip, leaving social justice stories to fall by the wayside. We're providing a new platform to give these issues the attention they deserve, while empowering others to tell the story forward.
Gallery For Justice is a harmony of article and print, merging each into the same frame. By purchasing our prints you'll be taking action for change while educating and impacting the lives of your family, friends and colleagues.
Our website showcases the projects in greater detail, inviting visitors to track the progress of the stories you're showcasing in your own Gallery For Justice.
We're fresh. We're grassroots. We are the Gallery For Justice.
The Gallery for Justice, launching on the 28th August, 2010, is a culmination of documentary photographer Mark Tipple and social entrepreneur Nikki James. 'Nikki gave voice to the frustration I was having with the traditional media with a concept that as soon as she mentioned it I knew that I had to make this happen. Having worked closely with organisations on the Indonesia reportage and having to tell them that the images weren't receiving any light in mainstream media was disheartening to say the least, this concept is a unique platform that I know will raise the profile of these organisations, and source them with much needed funds.'
The design has been crucial to the project; too much design and the text overpowers the image, too little and the context of what the image depicts is lost. 'It's been an interesting journey working with Andy to get the elements right, and I'm stoked to see his talent show from the outset with this initial set. He's managed to leave the elements of the image speak for themselves, while intertwining the background information with the organisation's story in an equally powerful way.'
