Reframing Migration: Voices of Witness

25 October 2024 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm

World map on a wall with country names labelled on pink and yellow paper. Strings connect country labels to the map. The map is in an office setting with a clock, desk, and storage cabinets.


This workshop is a collaborative project bringing together experts and practitioners working in the field of photography and human rights campaigns, including researchers, photographers, and NGO professionals, as well as individuals with lived experience such as refugees, conflict survivors, and victims of humanitarian disasters. The aim is to explore the ethical dimensions of photography and contemporary digital culture in relation to humanitarian and human rights campaigning. This is an opportunity for practitioners and scholars interested in the field of photographic history, activism networks, journalism, photography, media studies, human rights, humanitarianism, and visual culture to reflect on the challenges of listening, gathering, and producing visual materials from lived experiences of victim/witnesses/survivors. The workshop will showcase two rich panels of speakers, one addressing photographic value and function in relation to institutional practice, and the other addressing the ethical challenges of photography in contemporary humanitarianism.

This event follows on from the Reframing Migration seminar held in June 2024.
