Northern Exposure: A gathering of visual journalists

Join us for our 2025 conference
Northern Exposure website logo

Northern Exposure is an anything-but-the-same-old conference to talk photography, video and storytelling. For the last several years, photojournalists have shaped the way we receive news about the pandemic, unrest, social justice and more. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been important.

Let’s gather to learn from each other and inspire one another.

  • When: Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5, 2025
  • Where: Murphy Hall, University of Minnesota -- Twin Cities campus (East Bank)
  • Who it's for: Visual journalists -- and journalists whose work intersects with visual journalism -- at any stage in their career
