Please join us on Sunday for the next BAGnewsSALON
(to be held several hours before, and, yes, counter-programming the Superbowl) Haiti Aftermath: A Look Back at the First Week Sunday, February 7, 2010 3:00-4:30 pm EST This BAGnewsSalon will examine a small group of images from the week following the devastating Haitian earthquake. From these pictures, we hope to consider various issues, including: - the role, boundaries and “weighting” of the graphic and sensational - how much the pictures presented a representative, as opposed to a stereotyped view of the Haitian people - whether the pictures might have overly skewed toward human suffering and physical devastation. The discussion will include three photographers who were on the ground that week in Haiti. ******* The BAGnewsSalon is an on-line, real-time discussion of selected images between invited guests in a live chat room on the BAGnewsNotes blog.
