Brighton Photo Biennial is an ambitious celebration of international photographic practice, which includes exhibitions, commissions, events and debate. Brighton Photo Biennial 2008, curated by Julian Stallabrass, explored photographic images of war, their making, use and circulation, and their currency in contemporary society. The 2008 programme provided a platform for the very poignant debate about the representation of war.
"A photograph can’t coerce; it won’t do the moral work for us but it can start us on the way." (Susan Sontag)
