Overview

We are delighted to host Hard Truths, an exhibition of prize-winning photography from The New York Times.

The exhibit showcases the work of five outstanding New York Times photojournalists, who have taken great risks capturing events and their effects on people around the world. The photographs bear witness to humanitarian crises, conflicts and transitions from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, the Philippines, Cuba and Iran, while uncovering the human stories at heart.

Hard Truths has been co-curated by David Furst of The New York Times and Arthur Ollman from the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography in collaboration with The Conduit.

The exhibition will be open on Friday 16 March from 10am – 4.30pm and Saturday and Sunday 12 – 5pm.
