The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam presents a one-day international symposium exploring the vital role of photojournalism and documentary photography in how we perceive our present, understand our past, and view the future. Future Memories brings together photographers, academics, and representatives from art and media institutions. Together, we will discuss the influence of conventions and tropes in visual culture, explore contemporary practices of photographers, curators and institutions, and examine how they perceive the evolving role of photography. The symposium is open to both professionals and the public.
The symposium can be followed physically in the Rijksmuseum and online.
The price of the ticket includes full access to the Rijksmuseum, where you will have the opportunity to visit the exhibitions on display, including Carrie Mae Weems: Painting the Town, and American Photography. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
