Confident Agency has successfully represented in Bucharest the launch of “Bearing Witness”, one the most exclusive and impactful international conflict photography exhibitions. The grand opening coordinated by the Confident team took place in the presence of the two world renowned photographers Mr. Muhammed Muheisen, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, and Mr.Howard G. Buffett, the middle son of Warren Buffett, who is Chairman and CEO of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.

The launch event gathered ambassadors, government representatives, entrepreneurs, top management leaders, and media figures in a highly exclusive setting - Ghica Palace Victoria, opened to the public for this special occasion.

The exhibition features a collection of 50 photographs captured for 25 years by the two photographers in war zones like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Myanmar (Rohingya crisis), Yemen, and Ukraine and aims to raise awareness and provide a deeper understanding of the human impact of these conflicts.

‘"Bearing Witness’ is a visual journey of moments in time that shows life amid chaos, the destruction, the human misery, and the resilience of those caught in the midst of it. These photographs are never just pictures: they are voices, messages, and testimonies that live forever. We needed a communication partner to understand and to be able to send across the deep message of our international exhibition. The Confident team worked closely with us, coming with custom ideas and solutions for all the stages of the project, supported with high level connections and we could truly feel the value of an engaged senior and resourceful team”, stated Rosanna Wijngaards, Managing director la Everyday Refugees Foundation.

"Bearing Witness is an exhibition that speaks to both the mind and soul, urging us to return to the core values of humanity. Through powerful images depicting the war's impact on innocent lives, this exhibition continues its tour across European capitals. We are deeply honoured to have partnered with Everyday Refugees Foundation", said Mara Gojgar, founder of Confident Agency.

Bearing Witness is on display at Ghica Palace Victoria between September 19th to 26th, open daily from 12:00 to 19:00, with free admission for all visitors.
