Coinciding with the long awaited reissue of Nicaragua, and the accompanying exhibition on view at the International Center of Photography, Aperture presents a special evening of conversation between internationally acclaimed photojournalist Susan Meiselas and artist and filmmaker Alfredo Jaar. Meiselas joined Magnum Photos in 1976 and is renowned for her coverage of the insurrection in Nicaragua and her widely-published documentation of human rights issues in Latin America. Jaar emigrated from Chile at the height of Pinochet’s military dictatorship in 1981. His installations, photographs, films, and community-based projects bear powerful witness to military conflicts, imbalances of power, and political corruption.
Note: This event also launches "Aperture Live", a new initiative to webcast and archive Aperture artist talks. http://www.aperture.org/live
