This week, Magnum’s Square Print Sale will present over one hundred images and texts by international artists curated under the theme of Solidarity. 

This theme challenges participating photographers to reflect upon the power of togetherness in tumultuous times.

While acknowledging the daunting divisions and fault-lines running through society, the selection examines a simultaneous human yearning for commune and connection, aiming to explore the strength of both the individual and collective, as well as the interdependence of peoples around the world in the face of adversity and oppression.

During the sale, over one hundred archival-quality prints, signed by the photographers or estate-stamped by the estates, are available for just $100. For this project, 50 percent of the proceeds from the Magnum Square Print Sale will be donated to the NAACP.
