Public Speaking
Selected Topics
Fault Lines
Fault Lines merges documentary photography, political analysis, and public dialogue to explore the fragmentation of the global order. Drawing on reporting from Ukraine, Myanmar, and other regions, the talk traces how shifting power lines reshape lives on the ground.
The war in Ukraine
Vincent Haiges has been documenting the war since the early days of the full-scale invasion. The talk follows the conflict's evolution and its implications for European security.
Underreported Conflicts
Why do some conflicts receive Western media attention while others remain underreported? Drawing on his work in Tigray, Myanmar, and Sudan, Vincent Haiges reflects on the mechanics of the attention economy, the political implications and why he continues to document the wars many look away from.
Documentary Photography in the 21st Century
In an age of AI-generated images and visual oversaturation, the documentary photograph, verified, witnessed, accountable, is more essential than ever. The talk explores why, and what this means for journalism, public memory, and the photographer's responsibility.
Vincent travels internationally for talks, keynotes and panel discussions about his work. Talks held in English and German.
