 30 Ans, 30 Photos iconic World Press Photo winning photographs exhibition at the Memorial de Caen, France. 2018.

This unique exhibition raises awareness on global issues through first-hand accounts of the historic events and celebrates photojournalism through the work of the World Press Photo Foundation. Revisiting the iconic photographs of the last thirty years helps us appreciate the visuals of today. Today, when the world, the press and photography itself are undergoing seismic changes – and when visual literacy is more important than ever – we strive to help visual journalists and storytellers, as well as their audience, understand and respond to these transformations so the freedoms of expression, speech and the press can be secured and creativity can flourish.
