In ’Hand to Hand’ we gain insight into the everyday realities of people from different parts of the world, many of whom live in conflict or disaster areas. What unites us all, regardless of life situation, is our need for the essentials of daily hygiene and health. This exhibition of Essity and Fotografiska features stories by Paul Hansen, one the worlds most respected journalist photographers and winner of World Press Photo 2013, aims to raise awareness around the vital need for access to water and hygiene.
The lives of 500 children with diarrhea could be saved daily with access to clean water and soap. 70% of healthcare-associated infections could be reduced through improved hygiene practices.
Listen to photographer Paul Hansens own experience about the importance of hygiene and access to basic hygiene facilities.
The exhibition also features a school in England documented by photographer Åsa Sjöström, who works in the same tradition as Paul Hansen. The school is part of a larger initiative that focuses on teaching children the importance of personal hygiene at an early age and addresses the importance of cleanliness of toilet facilities at schools.
For those not able to travel to the museum, we have created an online experience. At your own convenience, you can experience the photos, insights and stories anywhere you like. We also included behind-the-scenes material and insights from our bi-annual survey on hygiene and health in areas such as menstruation, incontinence and hygiene at home. Click on a language:
