The 2022 edition of the Visa pour l’image photojournalism festival will begin at the end of August in Perpignan, in the south of France. To present it, The media workshop received the director of Visa, Jean-François Leroy.
The 34th Visa for the image will be held from August 27 to September 11. At the microphone of the media workshop, its director Jean-Francois Leroy begins by presenting this festival – unique in the world – of photojournalism and describing it visually.
The 2022 edition of Visa will host several exhibitions dedicated to the war in Ukraine, a conflict that has caused the death of more than twenty journalists since 2014.
Jean-François Leroy presents several of the photographic works and reports selected this year, some of which will receive prizes accompanied by endowments. He insists on the importance of the “quality of the gaze” and the need for a singularity in the “photographic writing” of the selected series.
A man of commitment, Jean-François Leroy explains the relationship he has with the National Rally (RN) municipality of Perpgnan, led since 2020 by Louis Alliot.
The director of Visa pour l’image also returns to the controversy that tainted the previous edition of the festival, when a photographer from the Magnum agency deceived the organization by presenting a report on fake news edited using digital tools.
Finally, Jean-François Leroy sends a message to photojournalists in Southern countries, and in particular in Africa.
