Join photographers Tim Davis, Tim Hetherington and An-my Lê for a discussion on contemporary war photography. Tim Davis, known for his monograph My Life in Politics, calls himself a photographer who sees “unintended derangements of objects in offices, hospitals, strip malls and the political sphere.” An-my Lê approaches from the unique standpoint of a Vietnam War refuge, and for her work Small Wars she photographed Vietnam War reenactors in North Carolina. This panel, Social Change, Conflict and a New Photographic Paradigm, moderated by Richard B. Woodward is organized in conjunction with Visions of War: The Arts Represent Conflict and is presented by the BFA Photography and Humanities & Sciences Departments at SVA.
