ACFID National Conference 2018

Photography Exhibition

 

This year, as part of the evening event we will be hosting a photography competition and exhibition. It will explore the subthemes of: People. Planet. Peace.

The purpose of this exhibition is to showcase photography from recent times (2016 to current day), highlighting the importance of imagery in creating awareness and effecting change. It is open to everyone. 

Shortlisted photographs will be displayed during the evening event and also on Day 2 of the conference, with delegates having the ability to interact with the exhibition and nominate their favourite photographs. These will be announced at the close of conference and one entrant from each theme will receive a ticket to ACFID’s Conference in 2019. 

People:

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. This theme represents the heart of human rights – people. The protected, the protectors, and those that are still fighting for theirs.

Planet:

Healthy ecosystems, environment and climate and the necessary interaction between these and healthy communities and societies. They are essential for human health and therefore life, and when functioning well, provide us with nutrition and food security, clean air and fresh water, medicines, cultural and spiritual values, and contribute to local livelihoods and economic development. This theme reminds us of the need to protect our Earth and all it provides.

Peace:

“Everyone has the right to enjoy peace such that all human rights are promoted and protected, and development is fully realised” 

This theme explores human rights in the broader context of peace, civil society space and human security and explore critical questions around the nexus between rights and peace.
