A year ago we announced our inaugural animal photojournalism fellowship: an exciting chance for 1-on-1 mentoring with WAM founder Jo-Anne McArthur, support from the WAM team, and $6,400 to cover project and equipment costs. Seb Alex has completed his 8-month fellowship and we chatted with him about his investigations of a half-dozen animal industries across Indonesia.
We launch our second Fellowship in early 2023 - stay tuned!

This beautiful pig lives in a sanctuary in Germany called Lasst die Tiere leben, which means “let the animals live”. The sanctuary is at the site of a previous factory farm, reminding us of how exploitative spaces can be transformed. Seb Alex. (This photo comes unsigned.)
