Program - Night of Photojournalism

2:30pm - Artificial intelligence and photojournalism

With Jonas Cuénin, David Fathi and Amber Terranova

During a presentation of images generated by artificial intelligence, closely mirroring reality, widely disseminated in public spaces or on online sharing groups, David Fathi, visual artist and mathematician, Amber Terranova, visual producer, and Jonas Cuénin, editor of Blind magazine, will discuss the challenges and the impact of this new medium on our society.

3:30pm - Cultural Lenses & Biases: Unraveling Narratives in Visual Storytelling

With Dr. Mame Fatou-Niang - Bayeté Ross Smith - Paul Henderson

How do cultural perspectives and biases influence how we perceive stories and, in turn, the concept of truth? Our backgrounds form unique lenses through which we view and understand shared information, leading to a multiplicity of interpretations. Join us to learn how visual journalists, advocates, civil servants, thought leaders, and audiences can be cognizant of the impacts of these differences and biases.

Featuring Dr. Mame Fatou-Niang, Professor of French Studies and the Founder-Director of the Center for Black European Studies at Carnegie Mellon University; and Bayeté Ross Smith, 2021 CatchLight Global Fellow, multidisciplinary artist, photographer, filmmaker, and educator.

Moderated by Paul Henderson, social justice attorney, art advocate, and collector.

4:30pm - Female Gaze and Representation in Photography

Alona Pardo - Laura Lafon - Samuel Kirszenbaum

The "Female Gaze," inspired by the feminist concept of the "male gaze," challenges the way women are often depicted as objects in visual media, aiming to provide a different perspective on the female experience.

To explore the role of this "female gaze" in photography and its impact on gender perception, Alona Pardo, curator of the exhibitions ‘Masculinities’ [2021] and ‘Re/Sisters’ [2023] at the Barbican Art Gallery in London, and Laura Lafon, art director of photography at Gaze magazine, will engage in a discussion with photographer and photography historian Samuel Kirszenbaum.

5:30pm - Global Movements: Documenting The Migrations Of Our Time

César Dezfuli - Agnès Dherbeys - Roopa Gogineni - Sally Martin Katz Three visual storytellers who have ventured into the heart of migration stories share how they capture the complex narratives that go beyond common media portrayals, challenging stereotypes in migration visual storytelling.

Featuring César Dezfuli, 2020 CatchLight Global Fellow, journalist, and documentary photographer whose work often explores themes related to migration, identity, and human rights; Agnès Dherbeys, member of MYOP agency, working on news and features, mainly in Europe and Asia; and Roopa Gogineni, 2021 CatchLight Global Fellow, filmmaker and photographer based in Paris who for a decade lived in Nairobi working alongside communities of resistance across the region. Moderated by Sally Martin Katz, Curatorial Associate of Photography at SFMOMA.

With Pierre Haski, journalist and President of Reporters sans Frontières.
