About this Event
Two women photographers bring the human trafficking reality to light through stories of survivors and to introduce the matrix of organizations attempting to eliminate this global issue.
Smita Sharma published We Cry In Silence, a book and resource magazine chronicling her 9-year exploration into trafficking in South Asia. In addition to sharing still images, her book will be available for signing.
Photographer and filmmaker, Matilde Simas formed the organization Capture Humanity to address human trafficking and gender-based violence globally. Her most recent documentary, Woman Rising, focuses on the lives of survivors of human trafficking in America, sharing the story of a survivor living in Maine. We are thrilled to screen this short (24-minute documentary film.
This talk will be moderated by Sybylla Smith. Sybylla Smith is an independent curator, consultant, and host of the Concept Aware® podcast, focusing on concept development for artists and advocacy for gender parity in photography.
Doors open at 5:45. Discussion begins at 6:15. Our event will have time for audience discussion.
