2. Postwar Long-term Humanitarian Projects featuring Jim Goldberg and Susan Meiselas
3. Combat Photography featuring Don McCullin and James Nachtwey
The Symposium on Saturday will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear from six distinguished photographers about their profession and projects, as this is a unique subset of photographers who enter combat zones, who document assassinations and attempted genocides, who use their camera lenses to capture both inhumane cruelty and humanitarian compassion.
