In conjunction with the exhibition Susan Meiselas: In History, ICP will screen a series of films by the documentary photographers Susan Meiselas, Larry Towell, and Patrick Zachmann. These internationally renowned photographers, all members of the illustrious Magnum Photos, have alternately turned to filmmaking at various points in their careers to complement their photographic projects, to expand their engagement with the communities they are representing, or as a meditation on photography, memory and story-telling. For more information, call 212.857.0001.
Pictures from a Revolution (1991)
Susan Meiselas, co-produced with Richard Rogers and Alfred Guzzetti
In this lively, intellectually stimulating discourse on the power of images, renowned photojournalist Susan Meiselas returns to the scenes of a revolution she witnessed and captured with her camera. Richly suffused with context and color, Pictures from a Revolution catches up with the places and people behind Meiselas' iconic photographs of war-torn Nicaragua in the late 70s and 80s. Delving into the lives of guerrillas, Sandinistas, and bystanders, scattered from Miami to Managua, a decade after they faced off in a bloody struggle, this film finds both disappointment and modest pride amidst still-fresh, stirring memories. Once photographed wielding contact bombs and marching in the streets, these incredible Nicaraguans now live much as they did before the revolutionary days. The stories behind the acclaimed photos will ignite a new understanding of social struggle while inviting reflection on the war photographer's complex relationship with her subjects. Susan Meiselas will be in attendance for a Q&A.

Unlike social workers or therapists—the witnesses of the helping professions—journalists and photographers function mainly to inform, interpret, and bridge rather than to help directly. Documentary photographers can inspire understanding and compassion with their images and can contribute to opening paths to assistance.
Yet, there are pitfalls and ethical challenges when documenting stories about communities or individuals who have been through traumatic experiences. This panel will explore ways to strengthen the impact of documentary practice, sharing knowledge and practices of inclusion across disciplines.
Panelists
- Bruce Shapiro, Executive Director, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma (moderator)
- Grace Christ, Professor, Columbia University School of Social Work
- Donna DeCesare, Photographer and Associate Professor, University of Texas School of Journalism
- Jack Saul, Assistant Professor of Clinical Population and Family Health, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health
This event is jointly sponsored by the Open Society Institute Documentary Photography Project, the Columbia University School of Social Work, and the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.
DeCesare's exhibition Sharing Secrets: Children's Portraits Exposing Stigma is part of the Moving Walls 12 photography exhibition organized by the Open Society Institute and is currently on display at the Columbia School of Social Work.
