Alessandra Sanguinetti Interview CONNECTING TO OUR FELLOW MAN “Photojournalists are part of a continuous line that goes back to the Age of Exploration. They spread out across the world, seeking and discovering along the way. They are adventurers as the explorers of the past were. [...] But they are not in search of treasure or new science. They are in search of moments that will connect us to our fellow man,” said Kathy Ryan, New York Times Magazine Director of Photography, in a speech at the W. Eugene Smith Grant Ceremony at the School of Visual Arts, on October 13, 2016. Jim Goldberg’s portrait of Wembe and his prized radio is a testimony to this deep need to connect our fellow men: a refugee at the Mugunga Refugee Camp, “Wembe had had this radio ever since escaping a rebel attack in his village, one year before. It was the only possession he was able to keep. Wembe told me that he climbed the hill every day to listen for good news.” Past Square Print Sale: https://www.magnumphotos.com/events/event/square-print-sale-conditions-heart-empathy-connection-photography/ |
