“Bought & Sold” is a powerful photographic art exhibition on human trafficking by award winning photographer Kay Chernush. It is presented by Singapore-based anti-trafficking organisation EmancipAsia, together with ArtWorks for Freedom, a U.S.-based non-profit organization that uses the power of art to fight modern slavery and human trafficking.
By drawing on personal experiences from human trafficking survivors, Chernush has created a thought-provoking, beautiful ensemble of photographic artwork, each accompanied by impactful narratives from those who had lived through the ordeal of modern slavery.
Kay Chernush is a leading US photographer with more than 25 years’ experience in commercial and fine art image-making. Her work has been commissioned by organisations such as ‘Free the Slaves’ and the ‘International Cocoa Initiative’, and has also appeared in over 50 feature stories with the Smithsonian magazine. Her fine art work is included in the permanent collections of the World Bank and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. |
