A World Elsewhere: Photo reportage from around the world<\/em> is a photographic exhibition bringing together contemporary images of people, communities, places and cultures across the globe. The work on show has been selected to compliment the RSC\u2019s forthcoming A World Elsewhere <\/em><\/strong>trilogy of newly adapted classics from around the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Showcasing more than 30 international artists, the exhibition covers recent events and issues such as the uprising in Libya, the spread of the Occupy movement and climate change. Combining photojournalistic, portrait and travel photography, the show aims to shine a light on subjects that shape our world. The show is curated by the RSC with 40 selected photographs from the Foto8 Summershow 2012<\/strong> in London. Foto8 Summershow is a unique open exhibition of photography, where photographers from all walks of life, professional and amateurs alike are invited to share their best work. Among the RSC selection, images of modern China and Russia offer resonance and context for the work on stage.<\/p>\n
