Nick Danziger is one of the world’s most renowned photojournalists. Much of his life has been dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times in best-selling books, award-winning documentaries and photography.

In this lecture, Nick will provide a human face to development issues and share his experiences documenting the lives of people in some of the poorest countries of the world. Nick will also give insights into his own life and career, his advocacy efforts, and reflections on the global development agenda as seen from the ground.

Some of Nick’s stories will draw on his Revisited 2005-2010-2015 project, which will be exhibited in Canberra at ANU Drill Hall Gallery from Thursday 15 February to Sunday 8 April 2018 with the support of the Development Policy Centre. Revisited tracks communities and individuals in eight countries across four continents over ten years to assemble a stark and extraordinary portrait of life on the fringes. The lecture will be followed by an advance viewing of the exhibition, and a cocktail reception.

This event forms part of the 2018 Australasian Aid Conference. This event is free and open to the public — for details on the rest of the conference, which requires registration, visit http://bit.ly/2w2FCY6.
