Coming soon to THE FINE PRINT: Women Rising - A conversation with documentary photographer Donna Ferrato
Coming soon to THE FINE PRINT, an interview with photojournalist, artist, writer, and activist Donna Ferrato about her upcoming photography exhibition and her life’s work.
Holy, her latest book, is an encapsulation of her anger; a compendium of her empathy; and a 176-page vessel of her commitment to photojournalism. Holy shows the remarkable ways in which women survive, endure and prevail. The book is an invitation to understand denigration, abuse, disregard and contempt—on a personal level, a governmental policy level, and on a religious level—and the power of redemptive righteousness, desire and nurturing.
We’ll discuss Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights, how to publish images of violence and life’s complicated professional and personal blurred lines. Also, advice for young women and BIPOC journalists on safety, ethics and standards related to long form in-depth work of this sort.
Ferrato is the winner of the W. Eugene Smith Grant, the Robert F. Kennedy Award and the International Women in Media Courage in Journalism Award. For three decades, her work has advocated for women and exposed injustices and discrimination in American society.
That’s violence prevention, trauma reduction and women rising, later this month in THE FINE PRINT.
“Holy embodies Ferrrato’s fierce, unflinching devotion to uncovering the complicated truth about women’s lives.” – GirlTalkHQ
