Susan Meiselas

"Witnessing is a necessity for me. I have found that my photography can be a voice for people who have rarely been given voice before."

Her images of war are a powerful cry of conscience, yet Susan's involvement goes far beyond image-making. She has created war memorials using her images and curated Kurdish photographs into a national collective memory.

After a Harvard M.A. in visual education, Susan worked to combine teaching concepts, oral history and photography. She has won the Robert Capa Gold Medal, the Leica Award for Excellence, a Macarthur Fellowship and the Hasselblad Prize, and produced six highly memorable books.
