To accompany Open Eye Gallery’s No Iconic Images exhibition, this one-day symposium will bring together experts in photography and media from the UK and Europe. Through keynote presentations and panel discussions, the participants will explore the historical perspective and most recent practices of working with photography to talk about conflicts.
Building on the success of “Symposium: Researching and Curating Photography from Ukraine”, organised by Open Eye Gallery and held at the University of Salford in March 2024, this second edition will take place at Open Eye Gallery, with contributions from prominent researchers, academics, and curators, as well as documentary photographers, including those working on the front lines.
Speakers: Fiona Shields (The Guardian), Peter van Agtmael (Magnum Photos), Evgeniy Maloletka (Associated Press), Max Houghton (London College of Communication, University of the Arts London), Max Gorbatskyi and Viktoria Bavykina (curators), with more speakers to be announced soon.
