Can we find a sense of home in our house, our community, our country, or even as part of one home on planet Earth? By identifying in ourselves what home is, there can be a better understanding of who we are, where we are from, and how we can build a better future by creating a more connected community. Since then, the contest has grown into the world’s most prestigious photography competition, rewarding the best in photojournalism and documentary photography. Roots will always pull us to our homeland and there will always be a strong attachment to our sense of origin. World Press Photo was founded in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized a contest (World Press Photo) to expose their work to an international audience. The World Press Photo Foundation is a major force in developing and promoting the work of visual journalists and visual storytellers, with a range of activities and initiatives that span the globe. Some of these frozen moments of displacement are consequences of external threats, such as water contamination, extensive mining, or violence, while others refer to more internal, psychological reasons, shedding light on the invisible, metaphoric, and memory spaces. The voices of the featured photojournalists narrating their experiences of Latin America may be a catalyst to real-world reforms when used in service of social, political, and environmental advocacy by capturing, as Cartier Bresson phrased it, “decisive moments.” Photojournalists have the capacity to freeze time instantly and transport us directly to it. World Press Photo Foundation can never be held liable for the accuracy of the information and does not accept any liability for the consequences of the use or the incompleteness of the information, in any manner whatsoever. By combining photojournalism, which has a proven ability not only to document but to change the course of human events, “DIS\PLACE” aims to inspire new perceptions on topics like social exclusion and inequality low production and innovation and limited economic integration. World Press Photo Foundation aims to provide information that is complete and accurate. 2019's best visual journalism compiled in one book Selected from thousands of images by photo journalists, picture agencies, newspapers and magazines from all over the world The most striking images and compelling stories of the year Beginning in 1962, the World Press Photo Foundation has had an annual book published. It features participants from their Latin American Masterclass. This exhibition was created in partnership with World Press Photo and the Lightscape Foundation as part of the 2017 World Press Photo exhibition in Washington D.C. Our aim is to “displace” viewers and their senses as they look out at the world as well as inward towards their own perceptions of place and home. Topics here include migration, violence, and humanity’s impact on the environment as a direct consequence of displacement. In this exhibition, we address photojournalism’s ability to present development challenges with a sense of intimacy, vulnerability, and empathy. DIS\PLACE” is an invitation to reflect on notions of home through the lens of displacement.
