Since AIDS first exploded into the public consciousness twenty-five years ago, photography has offered the world its most visceral glimpse of the disease's human toll. Have viewers been moved to action or developed an immunity to the tragedy the images depict? How can photographers, and the media alike, navigate their way between impact and overload? Set to the backdrop of award-winning photojournalist, Kristen Ashburn's, Bloodline: AIDS & Family, these issues, and more, will be discussed. Photographers, editors, writers, and leaders in the non-profit sector will explore, through conversation and visual projections, photography's reaction to the disease, past, present and future.

Chris Anderson of the T.E.D. Conference moderated the evening.
