Roundtable Discussion: AIDS & Photography, What More Can Pictures Do

  • Post author:

401 Projects presents a roundtable discussion with:
Laurie Garret, Pulitzer Prize Winner & Author
Maryanne Golon, Photo Editor, Time Magazine
Leigh Blake, President and Founder, Keep A Child Alive

Since AIDS first exploded into the public consciousness twenty-five years ago, photography has offered the world its most visceral glimpse of the disease’s human toll. Have viewers been moved to action or developed an immunity to the tragedy the images depict? How can photographers, and the media alike, navigate their way between impact and overload? Set to the backdrop of Kristen Ashburn’s, Bloodline: AIDS & Family exhibition, these issues, and more, will be discussed. Photographers, editors, writers, and leaders in the non-profit sector will explore, through conversation and visual projections, photography’s reaction to the disease, past, present and future.

See Kristen Ashburn’s BLOODLINE: AIDS and Family project on MediaStorm.

Chris Anderson of the T.E.D. Conference will moderate the evening.
