Through a curated selection of images spanning decades and captured in more than 30 countries, these noted photojournalists aim to convey the powerful belief that “even in the midst of conflict, life never stops but persists. Life goes on.”
“Bearing Witness” is a visual odyssey that presents testimonials and stories of people’s resilience amid chaos and misery, according to its organizers.

Both photographers pay tribute to their friend and colleague Anja Niedringhaus, the veteran German photo-journalist shot dead in Afghanistan in April 2014 while covering the national elections there. Photographs by Niedringhaus are also on display.
