Learn the story of photojournalist and ecologist Sebastiao Salgado. Salgado rose to the top echelon of photojournalists—until he had seen too much war, famine and despair. To heal himself, in 1998 he returned to the forests of his native Brazil and rebuilt the devastation of his family’s farm, plant by plant. His effort became a model of ecological reclamation. Renewed, he again set out, this time to document the beauty and humanity of planet Earth. The class is led by Gordon Talley, graduate of the Yale School of Drama and coordinator of an ad hoc culture group in Cambridge, and will include images from Salgado’s photobook “Genesis” (2013).
