Project Room HJ\u00c4RNE presents the bookrelease onOlof Jarlbro: TokhangRough Dog PressFriday 21st, May, 4:30 \u2013 8:00 PMAddress: F\u00e5gels\u00e5ngsgatan 10, Helsingborg, SwedenProjektrum HJ\u00c4RNE begins to open this spring with an updated and urgent book release \u2013 Tokhang \u2013 by documentary photographer Olof Jarlbro, originally from Helsingborg, Sweden<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cTokhang\u201d is translated in Tagalog roughly with \u201capproach and talk\u201d and has become a word synonymous with the administration of the Philippine President Duterte and his war on drugs. A war that has claimed tens of thousands of victims with death patrols and summary executions and received criticism from human rights organizations around the world. Jarlbro portrays humanly and with a strong presence this \u201cwar on drugs\u201d in the megacity of Manila. He goes to areas where few journalists can usually get to. He witnesses the results and the victims of the police executions, but also seeks out the victims\u2019 relatives to get answers. A story that the war is mainly a war against the poor part of the population where the results of the police war are presented as successes in the media.Jarlbro\u2019s work often captures the connections between regional conflicts as a consequence of global structures. One of Jarlbro\u2019s absolute strengths is that in his photographs he comes close to the core of the story and the people who have often been trapped due to war and \/ or poverty, while the photographs together tell of major events in a global context that in the end we are also a part of \u2013 and is responsible for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
