These events create space for deeper engagement with the stories behind the photographs and films, bringing together audiences, journalists, academics, cultural institutions and humanitarian organizations.
From gallery exhibitions and photography festivals to university lectures and international conferences, each presentation offers context, firsthand insight and discussion around the people, places and global challenges documented over years of reporting.
