UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and an honorary member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in USA, Sebastião Salgado has made a name for himself with 40+ years of stunning work, which have garnered him a great many awards and accolades.
Salgado:
“I hope that the person who visits my exhibitions, and the person who comes out, are not quite the same, I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world.”
