Shahidul Alam on the new show by Jean-Philippe PERNOT at Bengal Gallery: Is his work beautiful? It is the wrong question to be asking. For in this work, one never arrives. These are still images depicting perpetual motion. Slices of time layered as an onion. A silent scream, tethered down anger. A violence that is sometimes quiet, and always disconcerting. For it is not the 'what' of the photograph but the 'why' that leaps out of every frame.

Christian Cajoulle on Munem Wasif's new show in Perpignan: Wasif, as a bearded Bangladeshi, says he has often been aware of the way people look at him with suspicion or even hostility, for example in the Paris underground, and even more so with immigration police checking passports. This is striking as external signs such as the headscarf, cap or beard can often be interpreted as signs of fundamentalism and therefore danger, rather than as a sign of cultural identity.

Shows by GMB Akash in Italy and Switzerland "Survivors". Akash is also a winner (ex-aequo) of the Vevey International Photography Awards 2009-2010.
