The Talk:
Susan Meiselas is well known for her documentation of human rights issues in Latin America, and her visit coincides with the 2025 rerelease of her acclaimed publication, ”Nicaragua” from Aperture. The book was first published by Pantheon in 1981 and is more sharply relevant today than ever. Meiselas’ talk will center around her Nicaragua work over multiple decades and the various forms it has taken, as a book, exhibition and film, tracing the lives of her images as they have circulated and been repatriated, shifting their meaning over time. A book signing will follow the presentation.
Future events in the “Year of the Woman” series will include “Women Photography Conservators” towards the end of the year, with “Women Curators” taking place in the first quarter of 2026, featuring some of the nation’s most influential curators in conversation.
