Deadline- 9 December 2013
Magnum Foundation has announced Human Rights & Photography Fellowships Program. This program is being supported by Department of Photography and Imaging.
The six-week program is comprised of three courses and is designed to enable students to explore strategies for creating effective documentary projects in pursuit of human rights. Students will explore multimedia and traditional presentation strategies for their photo essays, which they will develop through two studio courses. A lecture course will provide participants with an opportunity to look at photography’s strengths and weaknesses, both real and imagined, in attempting to determine new strategies for impact as both society and technology evolve. The final component is a discussion and writing course correlating with public guest lecture series featuring speakers from the fields of photojournalism, law, and media. The Human Rights Fellowships cover full tuition for 6 credits, travel, room and board during the program.
