Migrations
Shock, bemusement, sorrow, and anger—these are some of the looks on the faces in the photographs in Sebastião Salgado’s Migrations. A resident of Paris for the last 30 years, Salgado moves around the world from Bombay to Chimborazo. In conjunction with the universal aspects of the exhibit called Migrations in the University Art Museum at UC Berkeley, the Avenali Lecture of 2001-2002 asks of a project including 40 countries on five continents: in what ways does the Earth—on whose basic unity Salgado so forcefully insists—interface with the “terra” which in Portuguese also means one's native land?
