Ed Kashi

Presented in partnership with VII and the Social Documentary Network

Ed Kashi and Susan Meiselas will discuss photography in the age of coronavirus and how it is impacting the global documentary and photojournalism community. Ed will discuss his Corona Diaries (his daily diary of visual observations of the coronavirus) as well as volunteer work he has been doing in a local food bank. Susan will focus on how the Magnum Foundation and its extended global network is responding to the crisis. Moderated by Glenn Ruga, both Ed and Susan will discuss their thoughts on how the photography industry is coping with the challenge of documenting one of the most significant events in the past 100 years. We will then invite a conversation open to all attendees.

The Zoom meeting is limited to first 200 people who register. All others will receive information on how to follow the meeting live on YouTube.
