Bearing Witness: Through the Darkness of History with Don McCullin & James Nachtwey

Sir Don McCullin is one of the greatest living photographers, renowned for his five-decade career covering war, poverty, and suffering with unparalleled compassion. Starting with London’s East End, he went on to document conflicts in Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, and beyond. Despite being shot, wounded, and imprisoned, McCullin always returned to conflict zones. In later years, he shifted his focus to peaceful subjects, traveling through Africa, India, and Indonesia, and capturing the English countryside. His work, including Southern Frontiers, earned critical acclaim, while his bravery and mastery of composition remain unmatched.

James Nachtwey is a renowned American photojournalist who has documented global conflicts and social injustices since 1981. His work spans wars in Central America, South Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Chechnya, and Ukraine, as well as genocides in Rwanda and Darfur. Beyond war, he has captured the impact of HIV-AIDS in Africa, industrial pollution, orphan abuse, and the U.S. opioid crisis. Nachtwey has received numerous honours, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, and his images are held in major museum collections worldwide.
