Centre for Documentary Practice
The Centre for Documentary Practice will be producing its second online photojournalism symposium this weekend (May 8/9 depending on where on the globe you are participating from).
The theme for this weekend’s event is Photojournalism: Rhetoric and Reality:

As a discipline, Photojournalism purports to be concerned with a social justice agenda, yet often it simply perpetuates stereotypes, presenting people and issues as singularly dimensional.

Featuring Angela Blakely (Australia), Shahidul Alam (Bangladesh) and Brenda Ann Kenneally (USA), the event will be hosted from Sydney by David Lloyd of the CDP. The event is part of the Sydney Head On Photo Festival.

The 3 hour event will be held from 00:00 to 03:00 GMT.

  • Sydney: 10:00am – 1:00pm
  • Bangkok: 7:00am -10:00am
  • Dhaka: 6:00am – 9:00am
  • London: 1:00am – 4:00am
  • New York 8:00pm-11:00pm (Saturday May 8 )
  • Los Angeles: 5:00pm-8:00pm (Saturday May 8 )
