To mark this significant milestone, Cristina de Middel curated a special anniversary exhibition titled 'What Have We Done? Unpacking Seven Decades of Photojournalism Through the World Press Photo Archive'. The images displayed in this installation are a selection of the full exhibition and explore recurring tropes and visual narratives throughout the years of photojournalism—from heroic men in action and emotional women in distress, to portrayals of Africa as a place of suffering, and melodramatic depictions of white soldiers.
