At Yearly Meeting both Roy Hattersley and Paul Lacey inspired me as I listened to their lectures about aspects of our unequal world. The following day I went to see Uneven Geographies, an exhibition in which artists from five continents explore experimental ways of depicting globalisation and its human consequences. There was a notice to reassure visitors that the frogs in a fishtank were being properly cared for. In contrast there was no reassurance that the people who appeared in still photographs in many of the exhibits were properly cared for.
