📚 New arrival at the BDC's Tim Hetherington Photobook Library

Many thanks to photojournalist for his generous donation of 'This Alabaster Grave' to the library.

The photobook documents the destruction, loss, and aftermath of the battle for Mosul, Iraq, across nearly a decade of reporting and photography.

Designed by Jason Koxvold / Gnomic Book, the publication includes a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Azmat Khan and an essay by Campbell MacDiarmid.

The Tim Hetherington Photobook Library is home to thousands of photography books and serves as a free resource for students, educators, and anyone passionate about photography.

"In April 1991, journalists from 38 African countries came together in Namibia for a week-long seminar to discuss the need for a free, independent and pluralistic press on the continent.

When discussions ended after five days on 3 May, they had created the Windhoek declaration - a declaration of free press principles.

Later that year, Unesco’s general conference endorsed the declaration.

In 1993, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 3 May as World Press Freedom Day."

In 1991, journalists created the Windhoek declaration leading to World Press Freedom Day
