Picturing War: Ashley Gilbertson, Sebastiano Tomada Piccolomini and Jungeun Lee

Sunday, December 11, 6-8pm
Free and open to the public

Contemporary Arts Center
900 Camp Street
New Orleans, LA 70130

While many photographers cover conflict by showing scenes of action and carnage, the three photographers featured on this panel choose to focus on other ways that war can be interpreted through photography. Award winning photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson, 2010 PhotoNOLA Review Prize winner Jungeun Lee and emerging conflict photographer Sebastiano Tomada Piccolomini will each present individual slideshows of their work. A group discussion moderated by Pulitzer Prize winning photo editor Stella Kramer will follow. The juxtaposition between three unique viewpoints will provide an insightful conversation into war, humanity, and the role of photography in documenting and communicating the effects of conflicts and their aftermath.
