Featured Exhibit
Sebastião Salgado:
"Global Convulsion"
Showing at the Samuel P. Harn Museum
of Art.
June 3 - September 14, 2003
Photojournalist Sebastião Salgado documents the
refugee, the displaced person and the victims and survivors of mass
migration - the fallout of what he calls a "global convulsion." Drawn
from a private collection, the exhibition at the Harn Museum of Art
reflects the broad themes and urgent issues that characterize Salgado's
socially committed work. More than eighty photographs taken principally
in Africa , Asia, and Latin America chronicle those who Edward Said
has called the "undocumented," those who exist outside of art or political
and cultural representation.
