On Tuesday, World Press Photo and Human Rights Watch awarded the inaugural Tim Hetherington Grant to Stephen Ferry, an American photojournalist, for his project “Violentology: A Manual of the Colombian Conflict.” Established in honor of Hetherington, a photojournalist and filmmaker who died this April while covering the war in Libya, the €20,000 grant is given to help a photographer complete an existing project that focuses on human rights issues.
“Violentology” was chosen among a field of 222 applicants from 56 countries. The project examines the history of the guerilla war in Colombia and encompasses a decade of Ferry’s images from the conflict-torn nation. As part of the grant—and in a fitting tribute to Hetherington’s multimedia platforms—Ferry’s project will be shown as an exhibition and book, with selected chapters available for free download as a PDF.
Stephen Ferry is a Colombia-based photojournalist whose work has received numerous honors from World Press and Magnum Foundation among others. See more of his work here and more about “Violentology” here.
