Musa will be talking about his work and experiences documenting the Syrian war with the Free Syrian Army fighting on the front line, as well as the human cost of this civil war that has claimed the lives of over 100,000 people.

At a time when foreign governments are considering military action in Syria, this promises to be a topical and thought-provoking evening. Due to the rapidly changing situation in Syria please check the Redeye website before the event.

The doors open from 18:30 with the talk starting at 19:00. There will be the chance to chat and network over a drink and catch up on the latest photographic news.

All are welcome and it is free to attend but please register below.

Biography:

Musa Chowdhury was born and raised in Manchester, England. His primary assignments have seen him document countries where human strength in the face of adversity has inspired him; focusing on the forgotten people of sociopolitical or military conflict and the aftermath of such events.

Musa’s recent work has been centered around the war in Syria, where he was living with the FSA (Free Syrian Army) on the front-line – over a period of time, documenting their fight for freedom and a free Syria.

Musa’s other work has concentrated on ‘hidden societies’; visiting North Korea documenting day-to-day life of the political conditioning of its people. He has also spent time documenting old tribal traditions in Africa.
