Four contributors — two historians, an art historian and a photographer — bring expertise in genocide studies, visual culture and documentary practice to interrogate photographic representation of mass violence.
The discussion examines how images of victims circulate and the ethical responsibilities of those who produce and disseminate them, weighing graphic exposure against restrained representation. It explores impacts on audiences and families, questions whether shock deepens understanding, and considers how to render atrocities visible without stripping victims of dignity.
