OSI’s Documentary Photo Project is Hiring

The Doc­u­men­tary Pho­tog­ra­phy Project at the Open Soci­ety Insti­tute is look­ing for a full time pro­gram assis­tant. Through the Mov­ing Walls exhi­bi­tion series and dis­tri­b­u­tion grants, the project makes a unique con­tri­bu­tion to the field of doc­u­men­tary pho­tog­ra­phy by encour­ag­ing highly skilled pho­tog­ra­phers to invest in long term projects aimed at affect­ing social change. If you are inter­ested in arts admin­is­tra­tion, doc­u­men­tary pho­tog­ra­phy, and social jus­tice, this is the place to be. I have interned with the Doc­u­men­tary Pho­tog­ra­phy Project for the past year, gain­ing invalu­able tools for ana­lyz­ing pho­tographs’ effec­tive­ness for address­ing social and eco­nomic issues, and knowl­edge of inno­v­a­tive dis­tri­b­u­tion meth­ods that break out of that stan­dard exhi­bi­tion and book molds. Now that one of the project coor­di­na­tors, Whit­ney John­son, has moved on to be head photo edi­tor at The New Yorker, the Doc Photo Project needs an extra hand.
