Dana Gluckstein

Photographer Gluckstein will discuss portraiture for social change as part of the Iris Nights Lecture Series. Her book, Dignity: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the associated museum exhibition, Dignity: Tribes in Transition, now touring Europe, have received international acclaim and media attention in support of indigenous peoples rights. During her 25-year career, Gluckstein has photographed iconic figures from Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev to Muhammad Ali and Tony Curtis. Whether photographing a Haitian healer or a San Bushmen chief, Gluckstein infuses each portrait with an essential dignity. Tickets are sold out online, but Annenberg releases tickets from the standby list at 5pm on the day of the lectures and seats are often available. Check the website for details.
