In 1980 Don McCullin carried out a difficult and arduous assignment to photograph the conflict between Mujahideen insurgents and Soviet armed forces in Afghanistan. Armed with two Nikon cameras and 30 rolls of film, he hiked for miles on foot, seeking defining images of the conflict. In this he was unsuccessful.
Today Afghanistan is still at war and photographers still seek to capture those defining images of conflict. What has changed?
Broadcaster and journalist Edward Stourton chairs this event in which our panel will discuss the challenges faced by professional photographers working in Afghanistan during the last 30 years. The evening’s panel features Don McCullin and Donovan Wylie, current photojournalists Alison Baskerville and Kate Brooks, and serving British Army photographer Rupert Frere. For further information on our panel download their biographies.
This event is organised in association with the Media Society.
A cash bar will be available on the night.
