Humanity on the move: Sebastiao Salgado`s searing reportage of exiles, migrants, & refugees. It has been almost a generation since Sebastiao Salgado first published Exodus but the story it tells, of fraught human movement around the globe, has changed little in 16 years. The push & pull factors may shift, the nexus of conflict relocates from Rwanda to Syria, but the people who leave their homes tell the same tale: deprivation, hardship, & glimmers of hope, plotted along a journey of great psychological, as well as physical, toil. Salgado spent six years with migrant peoples, visiting more than 35 countries to document displacement on the road, in camps, & in overcrowded city slums where new arrivals often end up. His reportage

Includes:: Latin Americans entering the United States, Jews leaving the former Soviet Union, Kosovars fleeing into Albania, the Hutu refugees of Rwanda, as well as the first boat people of Arabs & sub-Saharan Africans trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean sea. His images feature those who know where they are going & those who are simply in flight, relieved to be alive & uninjured enough to run. The faces he meets present dignity & compassion in the most bitter of circumstances, but also the many ravaged marks of violence, hatred, & greed.

With forty-nine black-&-white photographs taken between 1977 & 1984, Salgados distilled survey of a continent

Includes:: images from Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, & Mexico. The images range in subject, capturing spiritual & religious practices, changing rural landscapes, & intimate domestic life. Each photograph shares a sense of sincere connection between the subject & the photographer, between a population & their homel&, & between Salgado & the audience he seeks to engage. In his text, Alan Riding writes, Salgado has sought out a lost corner of the Americas & he has made it a prism through which the entire continent can be viewed. A philosophy of life is caught in a look; an entire way of life is frozen in a moment...
