WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER HUNDRED ?
Photographer Rodney Dekker
The Other Hundred is a unique not-for-profit photojournalism project initiated by the Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT) aimed at providing a counterpoint to the mainstream media consensus about some of today's most important issues.
Photographer Joydeep Mukherjee
At its heart, The Other Hundred is an attempt to introduce readers to the vast majority of people, ideas, places and cultures overlooked by most major media publications.
Photographer Jenny Matthews
Through an annual series of books, each focusing on a particular issue or subject, The Other Hundred provides an alternative and refreshing view on everything from people and their homes to educators, performers, farmers and company owners.
Photographer Imran Ahmed
