Exhibition Tour: Rehabilitating Chimpanzees
Dan Kitwood guides visitors through his documentation of chimpanzee rehabilitation, focusing on the human dedication behind conservation work. The tour explores the daily routines of care, recovery, and reintegration, and the ethical considerations of photographing animals in vulnerable states.
Kitwood will share how he works respectfully in rehabilitation settings, how he chooses images that show process rather than spectacle, and how long term commitment shapes the story. The tour offers a grounded view of conservation as lived work, not a single moment.
