Daniel Winterbottom
Reportage is not always only visual documentation, but also a form of storytelling often combined with written narrative and/or observations. Whether a stand-alone visual description or a marriage of text and visuals, reportage reveals an event, condition, place, or character. In most reportage a theme persists across a collection of sketches documenting changing conditions, the cumulative effects of a continuing investigation, or the repetition and variation of a theme from place to place. In this session we will share our work, discuss the processes we engage in, the challenges we face and the role of reportage in our changing society. We will begin the session with a brief discussion on the history of sketch reportage. Bring your own examples and/or the work of others to discuss.
