	Susan Meiselas - International Center Of Photography
		The photography of Susan Meiselas (born in Maryland in 1948) has always expressed her conscience, from her passionately engaged work in Central America to her most recent project tracing the history and representations of the Dani people of the West Papuan highlands.
		Meiselas has also co-directed two films based on her involvement in Nicaragua, Living at Risk: The Story of a Nicaraguan Family (1985) and Pictures from a Revolution (1991).

	foto8 Reviews: Carnival Strippers, Encounters with the Dani
		Before becoming a professional photographer, Susan Meiselas studied anthropology – the influence of which is still evident in the subject matter and methodology of her work today.
		The revised edition of Carnival Strippers offers a new selection of Meiselas’ fl and white photographs from the summers of ’72 to ’74, alongside commentary from her subjects, essays by Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English exploring the wider significance of the work, and a CD containing interviews with some of the strippers and Meiselas herself.
		Meiselas used a Leica to be as unobtrusive as possible, and these images, particularly those taken in the tent, are shocking in their frankness.

	Apple - Pro/Photo - Susan Meiselas
		Meiselas shot both digital and film for a September 11th Memorial Anniversary project, but her eagerness to try digital sometimes outruns that of her clients.
		Meiselas, the author or editor of several notable photographic books, is exploring digital publishing as avidly as digital capture.
		In sending her images around the circle, Meiselas continues to push available media as relentlessly as she pushes her camera in the field, in part to guarantee future distribution.

	Online NewsHour: Kurdish History -- January 15, 1998
		SUSAN MEISELAS: There's the story from the man named Jabbar, whom I visited, who when I was in Kurdistan, I would constantly ask, well, who are the local photographers, where are the studios of the--in each town, and I would try and see if anything survived their deaths, for example.
		SUSAN MEISELAS: Some of those images were in the media, but what it involved for the photographer who made that picture, who was a Turkish photographer, he flew into Iran and the Iranian Army--it was convenient for them to castigate their neighbor, Iraq, for the gas bombing--so the images were made under those circumstances.
		SUSAN MEISELAS: Well, it was a great challenge to make something that could speak to two very different communities: a community, I hope, of westerners who know very little and hopefully want to know, and to a Kurdish community for whom this work was totally inaccessible.

	EIAL IX1 - Revolution: The Central American War Photography of Susan Meiselas and Adam Kufeld
		Kufeld is even less faithful to chronological issues than Meiselas, though he (logically) precedes his images of the refugees’ return from Mesa Grande, Honduras, to El Salvador with a selection of photos taken in the camp itself, and ends the book with images from his trip during the November 1989 FMLN offensive.
		Meiselas employs a more kinetic approach in which still images of furious action are mixed with quieter ones that precede battle or portray its aftermath.
		Meiselas effected a justification, which she drew in broad strokes, of the Sandinista revolution at a moment of political transition in the U.S. executive branch from a "liberal" Democrat (Carter) to a conservative Republican (Reagan).

	Museum of Contemporary Photography: Meiselas, Susan
		Directly political and fiercely concerned with a revolution counter to American foreign policies of the day, Susan Meiselas’s documentation of the atrocities and tragedies of daily life in the midst of political turbulence belong to a fervent branch of concerned photojournalism.
		Meiselas spent a year documenting the 1978-79 Sandanistan revolution in Nicaragua from a point of view decidedly sympathetic to the rebel forces.
		Meiselas operates under the photojournalistic principle of photographer as public conscience and of the photograph as evidence of realities that most people would rather ignore.

	Elegant Letter
		While I hope that Susan would appreciate that I had no way of knowing that I was looking at a portion of a photograph of hers, I am hurt by the suggestion that I have engaged in copyright infringement.
		Notwithstanding all of the foregoing, I am more than willing to credit Susan as a source and I am more than willing to assure her that I have made only this painting and it is not a subject that I intend to repeat.
		I hope that the foregoing is satisfactory to Susan and I hope that she will understand I had no intention of using a work by her, and absolutely no intention of offending her in any manner.

		For Meiselas and her subjects, Carnival life is something that gets in the person, making it hard to leave when one has been exposed.

		With her lens next to a teeteringly high heel, behind the folds of the stage curtain looking out, or over the shoulders of oglers, Meiselas brings us backstage to a world where cigarettes dangle listlessly and tired, naked women play cards.
		Her pictures of churning limbs, enraptured faces, and vacant expressions have an immediacy as direct as the straight line between the stage and any guy with $2.25.
		Meiselas is able to lay it all bare in a way that is not altogether different from what Lena, Lulu, and Patty do up on the Bally Box.

		Susan Meiselas risked her life photographing the Nicaraguan revolution of 1979.
		None of the people Meiselas meets are famous faces from the evening news -- most of them have no reason to lie -- and they speak with undeniable honesty about the sense of possibility they felt as they took down Somoza.
		Contrary to the drama in her photos, Meiselas finds “the same houses with dirt floors, the swollen bellies, nothing moving fast enough,” making her wonder whether the truth of a moment frozen in time matters very much next to the untidy facts of people living in time.
