Robin Hanbury-Tenison: Echoes of a Vanished World

Robin Hanbury-Tenison, is a natural born storyteller. A founder of Survival International, and described as “the greatest explorer of the past 20 years” (Sunday Times, 1982), his images speak directly to us in a voice that is fresh and clear.

Echoes of a Vanished World, an exhibition of some of his best work from time spent in Africa, South America and the Pacific between 1950-70 is on display upstairs at the Jackson Foundation and online.

“Each photograph is a window to a different story, close enough to touch, the characters depicted with affection and a curious intimacy. Most of all, there is that essential, magic ingredient that makes a story come to life; that sense of shared humanity; a story that all of us understand, and that runs to every story ever told.” – Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat

Echoes of a Vanished World is presented in partnership with Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights.
