Photojournalism Symposium - The Fear That We Will All Forget

2 AUGUST 2026

Griffith University Art Museum

For nearly two centuries, photojournalists have played a vital role in documenting global events, influencing our view of the world and shaping how we view the future. 'Tim Page: The very edge of the brightest light' highlights how the capacity for photojournalists to bear witness continues to carry meaning, even in an image-saturated era marked by decreasing attention spans and attacks on press freedom.

To celebrate the final weekend of 'Tim Page: The very edge of the brightest light' at Griffith University Art Museum, 'The Fear That We Will All Forget' Symposium will be a morning of conversations with leading voices in photojournalism and visual politics, including multi award-winning photographer and filmmaker Barat Ali Batoor, Marianne Harris, Page's long-time partner and manager, and Griffith University academics Dr Chari Larsson, Dr Miriam Deprez and Dr Samid Suliman.

This symposium includes a keynote address from Barat Ali Batoor; a panel discussion with Barat Ali Batoor, Dr Chari Larsson, Dr Miriam Deprez and Dr Samid Suliman; and an In Conversation between Marianne Harris, with exhibition co-curator Carrie McCarthy.
