Creative responses for future sustainability
“I’m not an expert like our photographers from the Prix Pictet awards. It was a hobby I always had and pursued. It was basically ingrained into our education, how important photography is in capturing life.”
Special guest Isabelle von Ribbentrop, Executive Director of the Prix Pictet photography Award, joins us as work from this year’s shortlist goes on display at the V&A.
In this week’s podcast we explore her family’s connection with the art form, the developing relevance and importance of sustainability as a subject matter and the background to this year’s theme, ‘Human’.
