The Fear That We Will All Forget | Photojournalism Symposium
Advertisement
For nearly two centuries, photojournalists have played a vital role in documenting global events, influencing our view of the world and shaping how we view the future. Tim Page: The very edge of the brightest light highlights how the capacity for photojournalists to bear witness continues to carry meaning, even in an image-saturated era marked by decreasing attention spans and attacks on press freedom.
As Dr Miriam Deprez writes in her essay for The very edge of the brightest light, "Page’s photographs remind us that in an age of visual excess, we still urgently need photography. Not because photographs resolve violence, but because they ask us to remain with it. And now more than ever, we need to learn how to look with, rather than simply look at."
To celebrate the final weekend of Tim Page: The very edge of the brightest light, join us for a series of conversations with leading voices in photojournalism and visual politics, including multi award-winning photographer and filmmaker Barat Ali Batoor, Marianne Harris, Page's long-time partner and manager, and Griffith University academics Dr Chari Larsson, Dr Miriam Deprez and Dr Samid Suliman.
