Description:
This exhibit of artwork by artist Bradley McCallum is an attempt to reclaim the legacy of American freelance war correspondent James Foley and acknowledge the universal concerns of journalists who seek the truth. The artwork was created by reimagining frontline photographs taken by Foley in Libya in 2011, and in Syria during early 2012. Foley was kidnapped while reporting and held hostage for two years. He was publicly beheaded by ISIS on August 19, 2014.
This exhibit is a collaboration with Medill, the Knight Lab, and the Foley Foundation on the 10th anniversary of the death of journalist and Medill alumnus James Foley. The exhibit will be up through commencement with a closing date of June 14.
