Kamloops Residential School

Red dresses hanging on crosses along a road commemorate the children who died at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, an institution created to house indigenous children in the 19th century. In 2021, 215 graves of minors who died as a result of abuse were detected. After an investigation, it was estimated that of the more than 150,000 children who passed through the doors of the School, at least 4,100 students died.

Save the forests with fire

Indigenous Australians strategically burn land in a practice known as cold burning, in which fires move slowly, burning only the brush and removing the buildup of fuel that feeds larger flames. The Nawarddeken people of the West Arnhem region of Australia have practiced controlled cold burning for tens of thousands of years and see fire as a tool to manage their 13,900 km2 territory.

Open Format Award

blood is a seed

The first World Press Photo Open Format Award went to Ecuadorian visual storyteller Isadora Romero. Through the personal history of Romero’s family, the project questions the disappearance of seeds, forced migration, racism, colonization and the consequent loss of ancestral knowledge. During the course of the 20th century, 75% of the genetic diversity of agricultural plants was lost globally. One of the main driving forces behind the decline in agrobiodiversity is the drive to grow monocultures of modified and often non-native varieties for higher-yielding crops. A fact that not only affects the population but also cultural memory, something narrated from generation to generation.
