STORYTELLERS LECTURE SERIES
WITH PAULA BRONSTEIN
Afghanistan: Between Hope and Fear
Wednesday, February 8, 2017
6 – 8 PM
General Admission: $10
Members Admission: $5
Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and editorial director for ViewFind Judy Walgren, SF Camerawork, and PhotoArts Marin have teamed up to invite cutting-edge photographers from across the country to talk about their work and approach to visual storytelling through their work.
Storytelling is a word that has become increasingly popular in the field of photography. The "Story" embedded in a photograph or group of photographs is what creates the understanding and connection between audience and photograph - no matter which branch of the field the photographer employs. Photojournalism has been the cornerstone for this narrative approach to image-making, but as photographic genres continue to blur, the Storyteller's skill is increasingly important to all photographers.
This is the first lecture in the 2017 series and will feature award-winning American photojournalist Paula Bronstein. Over the past 14 years, Bronstein has traveled to Afghanistan to document the daily lives of the Afghan people. Her work gives voice to many Afghans who remain silenced by the Taliban repression, particularly women and children. Bronstein's searing photographs depict the country’s on-going challenges as well as the stirrings of new hope. Bronstein counters images of human rights abuses, poverty, self-immolation, and heroin addiction with images of women participating in elections, attending rallies, and receiving an education for the first time. At the core of Bronstein’s work is her compassion for her subjects and her ability to gain extraordinary access to document the hope and beauty as well as the harsh realities of their lives.
