Health

Had we forgotten about health until the pandemic hit? Health appears as a silent background in almost all the great phenomena of our time - conflicts, climate change, migration - in which there is an intimate relationship with malnutrition, disease and human well-being. Today, the basic aspects surrounding health have been provisionally divided into two: things related to covid-19 and everything else. That is one of the great challenges facing, for example, the humanitarian world: that most of the resources are destined to stop the pandemic, and that so many other problems are forgotten. It is another of the paradoxes of the pandemic: that when everyone thinks about health, most of its aspects are silenced.

In the framework of this meeting, we will also talk about photojournalism to introduce The commitment of photography, the last issue of Voces collection in which Anna Surinyach and Juan Carlos Tomasi share their experience in nutritional crises, natural disasters and conflicts.
