Magnum Photos

Exhibition - Covering Conflict 

Magnum Photographers 

Commissioned for the BBC World Service's 75th anniversary, this exhibition brings together contemporary and vintage prints of historic conflict situations. Featuring vintage work by Stuart Franklin, Philip Jones Griffiths and Robert Capa, these photographs are juxtaposed with contemporary work from Paolo Pellegrin's 2006 study of the Lebanon conflict. The exhibition is selected by Robin Lustig, BBC World Service presenter and journalist, and is accompanied by a specially created Magnum In Motion essay.
