Bob Miller. Nairobi, Kenya. 2010. Untitled.

"I met Kelly Nganga in a Nairobi slum one day in March, 2010. As a young boxer, Kelly's dream is to be picked up by the Kenya Armed Forces and box professionally. Each day at five in the morning, Kelly wakes up to train. In the evenings he returns again, using free weights he made from cement and plastic jugs. He's part of a hodgepodge group of adolescents, each from different tribes, that calls themselves the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation."

"India is full of contradictions. The feeling of spirituality is hastily tested by the surrounding reality. Nothing is what it seems to be, at least in the way that we foreigners want to understand it. The girl is not painting a heart on the blue wall. She is trying to erase it with a stick to prevent me from photographing it."

Christian Als. Nairobi, Kenya. 2008. Untitled.

"The world's population just passed the 7 billion mark, and for the first time in history, the majority of the world's population lives in cities. In Nairobi, Kenya, one million people are crammed in to a piece of land the same size as Manhattan's Central Park. After working on the Kibera story for a week, I decided to hire a small airplane to capture the density of the slum, and to my big surprise, I saw that the city's most prestigious golf course is situated right next door. Two worlds collide in one frame."

Yuri Kozyrev/NOOR. Cairo, Egypt. 2011. Untitled.

"Tens of thousands packed central Cairo Friday, waving flags and singing the national anthem, emboldened in their campaign to oust President Hosni Mubarak after they repelled pro-regime attackers in two days of bloody street fights."
