1%: PRIVILEGE IN A TIME OF GLOBAL INEQUALITY
3 September – 5 November

Around the world, there is a concern about the increasingly unequal distribution of wealth and income. It is estimated that the poorer half of the global population possesses less than 1% of global wealth, while the richest 10% of adults own 86% of all wealth. Oxfam reports that the combined wealth of the 80 richest billionaires is the same amount as that of the bottom 50% of the Earth’s population- 3.5 billion people.

This exhibition vividly captures some of the symptoms of this worldwide disease, and highlights the imperative to combat it.

These photographs from 37 leading photographers document aspects of the privilege of global wealth.
