Announcement:
What are the choices American photographers and editors
make when working in African countries? What are the stories
and images they find, and which ones do they tell to America?
What stories are Americans willing to hear and believe?
And what do all these choices mean for American "knowledge"
of Africa?
Join NYU's Africa House, National Geographic and the
Tisch School as photographers and photography editors
from the National Geographic, New York University and
elsewhere discuss what they think to be some of the most
important images of Africa to be communicated to America.
