Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Magnum Photographers
Since its inception, Magnum Photos has been holding an Annual General Meeting in either New York, London or Paris. The AGM brings together Magnum photographers, photographer estates and the agency’s international staff to discuss company business.
It’s a creative meeting of minds; an opportunity to review work, discuss the year ahead and voting on potential new member, associate and nominee photographers. Alongside business decisions Magnum programs an exciting schedule of public events, allowing our audience a greater connection to Magnum and our photographers.
The 2024 AGM took place in Arles. The following motions were passed:
- Sabiha Çimen becomes a member
- Yael Martínez becomes a member
- Salih Basheer becomes a nominee
- Sakir Khader becomes an nominee
“It is beautiful to see the Magnum family grow in diversity and richness with such two new and powerful voices,” says Cristina de Middel. “I hope Sakir and Salih feel welcomed and supported in this new stage of their careers. I have no doubt that they will contribute significantly to our agency’s historic commitment to documenting the world we live in and explaining it with real photographic images.”
