As the gallery wall expands to include more varied genres of photography, the role of photojournalism in the art world comes into question. Images of global conflict and social injustice are prevalent in the market, but do patrons desire to view these photographs or are these acts of social activism on the gallery’s part? A panel of guest gallerists and photographers will examine the difficulties and success stories of placing photojournalism in this market.
