Storyteller: Photography By Tim Hetherington
IWM - Lambeth Road, London SE1 6HZ
From a full archive of his work now held by IWM, Storyteller: Photography by Tim Hetherington will, for the first time, bring together aspects of conflict photographer Tim Hetherington’s personal experiences and perspective alongside his most engaging projects. Opening at IWM London on the 13th anniversary of his death while covering the Libyan Civil War (2011), this exhibition will feature photography and film from across his career, including his projects in Liberia, Afghanistan and Libya. The exhibition will feature photographs and objects that have never been displayed in public before, including Tim's camera and diary used for his final work in Libya.
Storyteller fulfills the Tim Hetherington Trust's core ambition that Tim’s visionary work should continue to inspire new generations of artists and journalists dedicated to bringing truth to the world. We are particularly excited that Tim's rich legacy has been amplified and given new relevance by the deep knowledge and historical perspective of the team at IWM. The result is an inspiring opportunity for old friends and tomorrow’s emerging talent to catch a spark from recent history and to carry it forward in their telling of the urgent stories of our time.
