Pictures from a Revolution

"[Meiselas'] film is a frank and startling meditation on the contradictions of the photographer's historical record and the recent past."--Leslie Camhi, Village Voice

No one captured more powerfully the suffering, sacrifice and, finally, the celebration that accompanied the Sandinista victory in Nicaragua than Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas. A decade later, Meiselas returned to Nicaragua to track down the people in her photographs - guerrillas, somocistas, simple bystanders. The result is a provocative study of a revolution and its aftermath, as well as a frank inquiry into the perils of recording history as it happens.

David Alan Harvey - Living Proof

In 2005 David Alan Harvey began photographing local emcees in the Bronx River Projects as part of an exploration into hip hop. Hip hop, which first began on the streets of the South Bronx in the early 1970s, has traveled the globe, finding a home in every corner of the planet. It is this phenomenon that Harvey has captured - from Hollywood celebs to the local cultures of Spain, France, Gambia, Senegal, South Korea, and Thailand.

Constantine Manos - Greek-American

Constantine Manos shares two bodies of work, one made early in his career and the other much later. Of the black and white photographs in A Greek Portfolio, Manos visits Greece, the land of his ancestors, in a romantic search for the village he heard of so much as a child. In American Color, a more mature Manos makes color photographs of the America which once intrigued him as a strange and exotic place.
