Walsh lays bare the issues which confront fair representation, including limitations caused by censorship, complacency, race and gender inequity. A conversation that lands on answering the question “what is conflict photography?”, with an attempt to enlighten our sense of collective awareness and lessening the distance between us and them. In this book group, Walsh discusses, among other things:what is photojournalism and how is the later perceived by a Western audiencepolitics of representation the impact of the historically Western, white, male gaze in documentary photography grief fatiguetechnology and war desensitization and public disengagement caused by a lack of empathy Referenced in this episodeThe Enough ProjectVII Peace ProjectEveryday Africa/ Everyday ProjectsVerbatim PhotoDrik Picture LibraryArab Fund for Arts and CultureThe GroundTruth ProjectGeneration Human RightsA Culture of Safety AllianceSee my Fall 2020 review in ZEKE, The Magazine of Global Documentary, here.Lauren Walsh Website | Instagram Engage with J.
