Ethics of Photography in International Development | A conversation with Ethiopian Humanitarian photographer Martha Tadesse
Photography can be an incredibly powerful tool to document international development, social justice or environmental issues. However, it can also reinforce problematic narratives as well as entrenched power dynamics. In this conversation with humanitarian photographer Martha Tadesse, we will reflect on photography ethics, decolonising the gaze, as well as issues of representation, power dynamics and consent, and how we can all improve our practices.
Host: Alice Chautard, School of Geography and the Environment
