Photography exhibition

The Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR) hosted a photography exhibition, ‘A Picture of Risk: Exploring Risk through Narrative Photography', in February 2023.

The Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR) at Durham University hosted a photography exhibition, ‘A Picture of Risk: Exploring Risk through Narrative Photography’.

Photographers and researchers were invited to submit one photo that tells a story related to:

  • Preparedness: How do we prepare for natural and anthropogenic hazards to limit risk?
  • Impact: What social and environmental impacts do hazardous events have?
  • Aftermath: What is the recovery process following a disaster?

There were 19 photographs in the exhibition telling a story of preparedness, impact, or the aftermath of disaster in nine different countries (Nepal, Chile, Pakistan, China, the UK, Indonesia, Poland, Mozambique, and Iceland). The exhibition was held for three weeks in the Teaching and Learning Centre at Durham University and was also available to view online.
