Tim Hetherington Society

30/04/2019

We are a society based at Lady Margaret Hall, created in memory of our namesake alum, Tim Hetherington (1989). Tim was an incredible photojournalist and human rights advocate who died whilst covering the Libyan civil war in 2011.

The society was set up to commemorate and celebrate Tim's work and to help cultivate the next generation of photojournalists and advocates. It was created to inspire and encourage individuals to embark on projects that advance the ideals that Tim valued dearly, with a focus on social and humanitarian issues.

We are currently recruiting a committee who will work to advance and achieve the aforementioned goals of the society. If the above is something you really care about and if you are interested in journalism, photography, or human rights, and want to be involved, please message the page or Zahra Farzanekhoo.

And to all those following this page, keep your eyes peeled for events and projects we are excited to organise.

Saeed Taji Farouky is a very talented filmmaker who opened our film festival 5 years after Tim's death. For those of you who did not manage to catch our screening, "Tell Spring Not to Come This Year" is a powerful and touching insight into the conflict in Afghanistan through the eyes of those who live it.

Not to be missed, and available on UK Netflix from the 1st of August!

Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of the blast in Libya that took the life of Tim and another gifted journalist, Chris Hondros.

The date was marked by the British Journal of Photography with this article, featuring some of Tim's most iconic work.

The film begins with Tim Hetherington trying to describe why he risks his life to tell stories from some of the world’s most dangerous regions. Eventually, he finds the right words: “I want to connect with real people, to document them in real circumstances, where there aren’t any neat solutions.”
