Lecture by Susan Meiselas Sandinistas at the walls of the Esteli National Guard Headquarters, Esteli, Nicaragua, 1979
Susan Meiselas's first major photographic essay focused on the lives of women doing striptease at New England country fairs. She photographed the carnivals during three consecutive summers, while teaching photography in the New York public schools. Meiselas joined Magnum Photos in 1976 and has worked as a freelance photographer since then. She is best known for her coverage of the insurrection in Nicaragua and her documentation of human rights issues in Latin America, which were published widely throughout the world.
