The BFA Photography Department presents “Visions of War: Social Change, Conflict and a New Photographic Paradigm.” This panel will explore the redefining of the photography of conflict, in both the photograph as an aesthetic object and in the depiction of war as a conceptual tool, not as witness. The panel will be moderated by Richard Woodard, critic, journalist and documentary filmmaker. Panelists include photographers Tim Hetherington, An-My Lê and Tim Davis.
