Through photographic projects such as Workers and Migrations, Sebastião Salgado has exposed working and living conditions among the world’s poor. For the past eight years, he has focused on the threat climate change poses for Earth’s remaining pristine areas. Photo historians and curators David Levi Strauss, Fred Ritchin, and Brian Wallis place Salgado’s work in the context of ICP’s mission of concerned photography.
