Sebastião Salgado: A Life in Photography
GETTY CENTER
Harold M. Williams Auditorium
This is a past event
Renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado comes to the Getty to reflect on his long and influential career. Salgado's many publications and exhibitions include Migrations: Humanity in Transition (recently re-issued as Exodus); Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age; The Children: Refugees and Migrants, and most recently, Genesis. As the Getty presents an exhibition of Chris Killip's In Flagrante, a photographic series documenting the devastating impact of deindustrialization on working-class communities in northern England, Salgado's moving images of poor and powerless people around the globe have special resonance. Tickets $15.
