Visa pour l’image 2023 Perpignan
This annual photo journalism exhibition in Perpignan, France is a must if you find yourself in this part of the world in early September.
This is my second year and I’m sad it wasn’t on my radar sooner. I believe this is the 35th year??? While my children will still let me drag them around, I will make this an annual event for the family.
Wow, just wow there is the photography powerful. And as you make your way from gallery space to exhibition spaces throughout the city, you really get a grasp on the social issues that have affected the world this year. It is a current affairs lesson through beautiful photography - sad, scary, poignant, unbelievable yet so believable, the adjectives are many and the stories are so incredibly relevant.
A current narrative and a history lesson.
This quote above by William Faulkner says it so well. “The past is never dead. It’s not even the past.”
