Best known for her iconic photographs, photojournalist Newsha Tavakolian creates opportunities to decipher the human condition with candour and sensitivity. Her ongoing engagement with the human figure has produced intense aesthetic portraits of intimacy and silence. Take for instance, her expansive exhibition I Know Why The Rebel Sings at The O.P.E.N., which movingly shows the terror of human conflicts as well as the oft-forgotten realities of those forced to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.

Join Tavakolian for an eye-opening and inspiring evening as she gives insights into her practice and discusses her recent work in conversation with Festival Director, Ong Keng Sen.
