Roundtable: Ethical Visual Storytelling in the Age of Technology, Conflict, and Child Rights
UNICEF – Giga
Date & time
26 September 2025
18:00–19:00
Venue
Giga Connectivity Centre
In an age where an image travels within milliseconds, this roundtable asks: what it means to see with care?
Hosted by UNICEF-Giga, the conversation brings together photographers, editors, and scholars to explore the ethics of visual storytelling at the intersection of technology, conflict, and child rights.
The panel will examine how visual narratives are shaped and shared. How do we ensure informed consent in crisis zones, especially with minors? How do AI and digital manipulation affect the authenticity and accountability of images? What frameworks can help us tell stories that respect dignity without losing urgency?
The roundtable will be conducted in English.
The panelists are Munira Mutaher, Global Photo Editor; Anush Babajanyan, Armenian photographer, member of VII Photo, and regular UNICEF contributor; Fiona Wachera, Kenyan educator and writer on visual representation; Danaé Panchaud, Director, Centre de la photographie and Swiss Photomonth.
The panel will be moderated by Davide Rodogno, HEAD, Interdisciplinary Programmes, Graduate Institute, Geneva.
In this age where an image travels within milliseconds, where a child’s face in vulnerable situation can be uploaded, shared, and forgotten in the span of a scroll. This roundtable invites us to pause and ask:
What does it mean to see ethically? To photograph responsibly? To tell stories that illuminate rather than exploit?
Organised by UNICEF-Giga, this event continues the conversation sparked by the Giga Photo Contest. It brings together photographers, editors, and academia to explore the ethical aspects of visual storytelling at the intersection of technology, conflict, and childhood.
Set in Geneva, a city of diplomacy and connectivity, we draw inspiration on the ethics of representation, especially in zones of conflict and displacement. It reminds us that every image of a child is a negotiation of power. Ethical guidelines are not bureaucratic checklists, they are moral compasses. They ask us to center consent, dignity, and context as the very architecture of the image.
Yet the terrain is shifting. Technology has expanded the possibilities of storytelling and the risks. How do we navigate this new landscape without losing our moral footing?
This roundtable will explore:
– Conflict and consent: How do we ensure informed consent in crisis zones, especially with minors?
– Technology and truth: How do AI, metadata, and digital manipulation affect the authenticity and accountability of visual narratives?
– The future of ethical storytelling: What new frameworks, tools, and collaborations can help us tell stories that are both powerful and principled?
