George Osodi's photo project, Oil Rich Niger Delta, and the resulting book of stunning pictures, Delta Nigeria – The Rape of Paradise brought attention to the environmental problems in the area and made Osodi one of Nigeria's most sought-after photographers. "I think it's my responsibility as the man with the camera to find a way to represent this [situation], so that it becomes appealing to whoever sees it," explains Osodi. "At first sight you're like, 'what a beauty', but then behind it is a huge Armageddon. It's like hell on earth." This film follows Osodi as he continues to document the devastating effects of oil spills in the wetland region and as he tackles his latest project, about Nigeria's traditional Monarchs. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2361509594001_WEB-ART-EP3-0929-07.mp4 Tue, 07 May 2013 15:00:51 +0300 1500 aljazeera,al Jazeera,artscape,youtube,oil,African,nigeria,Delta Nigeria – The Rape of Paradise,the new african photography,niger delta,Africa,George Osodi <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/artscape/~4/kEnM-7RNlFI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/artscape/~3/kEnM-7RNlFI/665003303001_2361509594001_WEB-ART-EP3-0929-07.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2361509594001_WEB-ART-EP3-0929-07.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2361509594001_WEB-ART-EP3-0929-07.mp4 Al Jazeera English A female photographer explores the lives of Kenyan women and tells their unique stories as seen through her lens. Barbara Minishi follows the campaign of presidential candidate Martha Karua for her project on Kenyan women, which aims to represent a wide range of women all wearing the same red dress, as a symbol of unity and national identity. She is now one of Kenya's top fashion photographers, but Minishi struggled to make a name for herself at the start of her career. "When I started out, one woman told me 'you’re black, you're female. There's no possible way you can be a professional photographer'. You know what?

The series kicks off with a vivid adventure, as Emeka Okereke leads a busload of artists and photographers for the Invisible Borders road trip of a lifetime as they search for new ways to portray their continent and explore their art. "A photograph is a window, and not the view. Don't photograph what you see, photograph what you feel," says Emeka. It is something he will try and teach young photographer Lilian Novo, for whom the trip is a first attempt at art photography. The group set off from Lagos and head overland to the Democratic Republic of Congo in a minivan, but soon discover that driving across Africa during rainy season presents environmental, psychological and bureaucratic challenges. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2319997272001_Web-Artscape-520-22.mp4 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:07:15 +0300 1500 artscape,aljazeera,African photographers,Emeka Okereke,lagos,al Jazeera,Lilian Novo,May Abdulla,Africa,democratic republic of congo,the new african photography,youtube <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/artscape/~4/CaOOyHlFWgo" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/artscape/~3/CaOOyHlFWgo/665003303001_2319997272001_Web-Artscape-520-22.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2319997272001_Web-Artscape-520-22.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2319997272001_Web-Artscape-520-22.mp4 Al Jazeera English Al Khadra is a renowned Sahrawi war poetess living in the al-Auin camp in the Algerian desert.
