HANOVER, NH.- Best known for her work
covering
political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s, Susan
Meiselas
has always experimented with photojournalism in radical and challenging
ways.
Grappling with questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use
and
circulation of her images in the media, and the relationship of images
to
history and memory, she has become a leading voice in the debate over
the
function and practice of contemporary documentary photography. From
April 10
through June 20, 2010, the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth
College will
become the only college or university museum to present the striking
multimedia
overview Susan Meiselas: In History, and only the second North American
venue
after the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York, the
exhibition’s
organizer, before the show travels to Barcelona.
