Friday Round Up - 14 October, 2016

This week on Photojournalism Now: Friday Round Up legendary photojournalist Tim Page shares with us a selection of photographs he took during UNTAC, the United Nations peacekeeping operation that followed the signing of the Peace Accords and played a pivotal role in establishing the future of Cambodia.

October 23, 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. 

RESILIENCE, a joint project of the Constable Gallery at Large (Siem Reap), the Centre for Peace & Conflict Studies and Cambodia Peace Museum, features the work of Tim Page, George Nickels and John Rodsted in an exhibition that depicts the many ways the rebuilding of Cambodia took shape.


“The Peace Accords marked a significant moment for Cambodia, a moment in which different groups were united in their vision of peace for Cambodia. Following the agreements, efforts were put into motion to bring home Cambodians who had fled the war, and to begin rebuilding the country – not only the physical rebuilding but also the spirit of Cambodia.”

Tim Page is a guest speaker at the opening event where he will share his first-hand accounts of his experience.

He shares this selection of images taken in 1992 and 1993 as part of the Tim Page Unseen series exclusive to Photojournalism Now.
