Join us for the launch of our new show, No Iconic Images. Views Of War.

When we talk about war photography, we often think of iconic images — photographs that shape how conflicts are perceived and remembered. Some even influence political decisions and societal shifts. But could a single photograph stand for the whole? Are there iconic images today? Do they need to exist? What images of conflicts do we need? Do we believe in what we see? There are so many questions to ask when talking about the representations of war.

The exhibition No Iconic Images. Views of War explores contemporary depictions of conflict. As the world burns and images circulate faster than ever, it examines recent wars and how they are portrayed and reflected upon through photography.
