Do photography and media shape reality, or do they reflect it? What elements of an image draw you in or distance you?
To accompany your visit to our 70th-anniversary exhibition, World Press Photo has produced a free visual thinking guide, created to be shared with family, friends, and communities. It encourages readers to recognize and engage with recurring themes in images across the past, present, and future. With thought-provoking questions woven throughout, the guide invites you to reflect on the images that shape our world and to consider your role as an active viewer.
The educational publication contains:
A guide to the exhibition's themes
Visual thinking questions
An essay by curator Cristina de Middel
An essay by Dr Lauren Walsh
Two posters
Visual thinking and media literacy exercises and games
