From capturing moments of conflict, joy, despair and resilience in ways where words alone can never do justice, the exhibition brings forth the profound role of photojournalism in shaping public perception. While a majority of the images feature the significant events and happenings of Visakhapatnam and its neighbouring regions over the past one year, it also portrays key sports events captured by the photojournalists. Some of the exhibits include key moments of the recently-held T-20 World Cup in the US and West Indies. The exhibition is on till August 21 and timings are 10.30am to 5pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
