Event Info: 

  Indivisible SF presents a panel of local photojournalists from Pro Bono Photo and other news organizations who share selections from their portfolios and discuss the role photojournalism plays in documenting protest, civic action and pro-democracy movements.

From the civil rights and voting rights movements of the 1960s to today's social justice actions, the San Francisco Bay Area has long been a significant site of protest and civil disobedience. Who documents these fleeting moments of protest and civic action? Local photojournalists share their experiences covering pro-democracy movements and street demonstrations throughout the Bay Area.

Hear firsthand accounts from photographers documenting recent protests and demonstrations, view a curated projection of their work and engage directly with the panelists during an audience Q&A.

Pop-Up Gallery: A selection of photographs by participating photojournalists will be displayed alongside historical protest photography from SFPL collections, connecting contemporary documentation of Bay Area demonstrations with the Library's photographic record of protest and civic action. The display will be on view on the 4th Floor of the Main Library from Sept. 17-Dec. 31.
