Faces of war ‘laugh a little’
-
The British photographer Rankin – best known for his fashion portraits – has swapped the catwalk for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
With the help of Oxfam, he travelled to Mugunga camp – to meet some of the thousands of people displaced by a decade of violence.
Images from his journey are going on display on London’s South Bank, in an exhibition called Cheka Kidogo – which means “laugh a little” in Swahili.In an online exclusive for the Today programme, Rankin talks about the people he met and how he captured their spirit in his photographs.
