Sebastião Salgado is a renowned Brazilian documentary photographer whose life and career have been marked by a profound commitment to capturing the human condition and the natural world. Born on February 8, 1944, in Aimorés, Brazil, Salgado's work has taken him to the farthest corners of the globe, where he has produced powerful and thought-provoking images that highlight social issues, environmental concerns, and the resilience of marginalized communities. His iconic black and white photographs, often exhibited and published in books, have made him a celebrated figure in the world of photography, earning numerous awards and recognition for his exceptional visual storytelling.  We will use video presentations to explore his life and photography.
