The Hetherington family and the Tim Hetherington Trust invite friends,colleagues and everyone interested in Tim’s extraordinary life to spend an evening at The Frontline Club exploring his dynamic legacy through the work of artists and journalists who continue to expand his innovative approach to visual media.  The evening will introduce new work by some familiar friends and some hitherto unknown voices who are bringing fresh energy to today’s media.  We will present a first-look at the virtual reality project “The Ark” by Eline Jongsma and Kel O’Neill, produced with support from the Tim Hetherington Trust and premiering simultaneously at Tribeca Film Festival in New York.  The Trust will unveil the revised Tim Hetherington Fellowship developed in association with the World Press Photo, and the evening will culminate with presentations by the five newly short-listed artists for the Visionary Award from the Tim Hetherington Trust and Frontline guests will be the first to learn the identity of this year’s winner with an opportunity to question the jurors and the artist about the forthcoming project.

This event on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the mortar attack that took the lives of Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros in Libya 2011 will introduce some new reflections on their lives and will offer dynamic insights into the work of a new generation of storytellers who are challenging our expectations of visual journalism in 2016.
