Centre for Documentary Practice

Those who continue to eulogize the craft of documentary photography be warned – the newly-established Centre for Documentary Practice is bent on making you eat dirt.

Based in Australia at Griffith University, Queensland College of Art, the CDP has some broad and bold plans – not the least of which is to host the world’s first online journalism and documentary practice conference, October 15. The centre acts to bridge the often-chasm-like gap between those who work in the field and those who work through institutions, writing in its mission statement that it seeks to, “promote a community of practitioners within the professional and academic worlds.”
Speakers at the October 15th online conference include: Paul Fusco, Ed Kashi, Jodi Bieber, Marcus Bleasdale, Shahidul Alam, Gary Knight, Robin Hammond, Adam Ferguson, Travis Beard, Michael Coyne, Masaru Goto, Jack Picone and Megan Lewis.
The CDP has published a multi-time-zone schedule so participants can pick up a session in their part of the world. You must register to be a part of this historic conference.
