Echoes of a Vanished World



Echoes of a Vanished World - National Theatre
A Lifetime in Pictures, by Robin Hanbury-Tenison

Robin Hanbury-Tenison, the "greatest explorer of the last twenty years" (Sunday Times) is also one of the founders of Survival International.
As such, he has been a tireless champion of the rights of indigenous peoples and, in the early years of his travels, an obsessive photographer of their homelands as they were eroded by the modern world. 

Hanbury-Tenison photographed extensively and collected objects
from remote tribal people while travelling during the 50s, 60s and 70s. These objects and images were unearthed recently to create the exhibition, many having not been looked at for fifty years.
