1:15:22 An Afternoon with Lynsey Addario and John Moore An Afternoon with Lynsey Addario and John Moore Presented by Photoville Featuring Lynsey Addario and John Moore Photoville 2019 Talks On-demand recordings are made possible in partnership with PhotoWIngs with additional support by the Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation Join us as two celebrated photojournalists sit down for a powerful conversation about their work traversing the globe, reporting on humanitarian crises attributable to the ongoing war in Syria, and the effect of immigration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border by the Trump administration. Over the past two decades, Lynsey Addario has photographed stories on war and social justice issues, such as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur and the civil uprising in Libya. Lynsey’s second book, Of Love and War, (2018), takes a broad look at issues including the long war in Afghanistan, as well as the Syrian refugee crisis, which has displaced roughly half of the population of Syria. John Moore has spent the last decade photographing the issues of undocumented immigration into the United States from Central America and Mexico. Traveling the entire length of the U.S.-Mexico border, John has photographed asylum seekers fleeing violence, migrants searching for economic opportunity and U.S. federal agents as they execute the administration’s aggressive response to pursue, detain and deport them. These stories and more are featured in John’s book, Undocumented (2018). Moore’s June, 2018 image of a young asylum seeker crying, as her mother was apprehended by border patrol, was named the 2019 World Press Photo of the Year. This year he also received the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for his decade of photography of immigration issues. We are thrilled to present this very special event, an onstage conversation between Lynsey and John. Be sure to check out Lynsey’s exhibition, Of Love and War, showcased here at Photoville NYC.
