This summer,
The Point, a Chicago-based magazine of politics and culture with a national readership, is publishing a symposium on the question âWhat is violence for?â As part of this symposium, we would like to hear from photojournalists with experience documenting war zones and other sites of violence.Â
Below you'll find a survey consisting of seven in-depth questions (and a few more basic ones). Feel free to respond to as many questions as you like and skip the ones that aren't as relevant to you. Select responses will be lightly edited and presented in an interview format as part of our symposium, to be published in the summer, alongside essays and interviews dealing with the same theme. Responses will be accepted through July 6, 2025.
Â
Provide your email if you'd like to be contacted before we publish your responses. Anyone whose answers are selected for publication will be sent a copy of the print issue. For more about The Point, visit www.thepointmag.com/about.
