In the face of authoritarianism – marked by often violent attacks on democratic processes, press freedom, and journalists (along with other forms of abuse) – we will explore how Latin American journalists and photographers are resisting.
In particular, we will discuss how CONNECTAS, a hemispheric platform and regional reference for investigative journalism, works by promoting in-depth, collaborative reports that help to expose abuses of power by disseminating evidence-based analyses.
This event features a discussion with Carlos Eduardo Huertas, director of CONNECTAS, who will present some of the most impactful and in-depth reports produced by the platform, and Carlos Herrera, a photographer from Nicaragua who has directly confronted the very challenges we will be discussing. Carlos Herrera will showcase his photographic work and offer a personal perspective on how investigative photojournalism can navigate and address abuses of power.
The event will be moderated by Leonardo Carrato.
This VII Foundation online event is made possible by our partnership with PhotoWings.
