Outreach Spotlight: VII Insider



Featured: Anarchy in the USA: Revisit the Conversation with VII Photographers who Covered the Events in the Capitol

On assignment for publications including TIME, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Republic, four members of VII photographed the Trump rally and the violence that it unleashed at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021.

On January 18, 2021, Gary Knight spoke with Ashley Gilbertson, Ron Haviv, Christopher Morris, and Christopher Lee, seasoned veterans of conflict, about their experiences that day. They discussed what they saw, how they made decisions, processed information and made choices during the fast-moving, unpredictable and violent events in their own country.

About The VII Foundation

The VII Foundation is an independent, charitable media and education non-profit organization. It was founded by Ron Haviv and Gary Knight in 2001 when they recognized that media funding for long-term projects was diminishing. In order to continue to produce work that addressed complex social, economic and human rights issues, they started the Foundation as an independent non-profit structure to secure support for continuing documentary practice and education.

VII Insider is a free online platform for public debate and discussion to advance the production and analysis of photography, documentary stories, and visual journalism. VII Insider is a program of The VII Foundation in partnership with PhotoWings and the VII Photo Agency.

PhotoWings is partnering with The VII Foundation and VII Photo to support and enhance the VII Insider programs.

PhotoWings' support allows VII to remove the financial barriers to full membership and make VII Insider available to everyone at no cost. Moving forward, VII Insider event recordings will be accessible on both the VII Insider platform and PhotoWings' expansive media archive.
