Join the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute for a presentation, discussion and book signing by award-winning photographer and Indianapolis native, Greg Constantine about his critically acclaimed photography book Nowhere People.
Nowhere People is a ten-year project that documents individuals and ethnic communities around the world who have had their citizenship stripped or denied from them by governments (mostly because of discrimination, racism, and intolerance). These individuals—up to ten million worldwide—are denied almost all fundamental rights and do not have citizenship to any country and are stateless.
Nowhere People is the third and capstone book of the project and was published in November 2015. The book was named a Notable Photo Book of the Year by Photo District News Magazine and was also named one of the 10 Best Photo Books of 2015 by Mother Jones Magazine.
Greg Constantine will talk about the book and present a slideshow of images from the project, which Mother Jones Magazine has described, as “among some of the best, most ambitious documentary projects of our time.”
About Greg Constantine:
Greg Constantine is an independent documentary photographer originally from Carmel, IN. He has spent much of the past fifteen years living and working in Asia. In 2005, he began work on his long-term project, Nowhere People. Constantine has spent the past ten years documenting stateless communities in eighteen countries, including Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Dominican Republic, Ukraine, Serbia, Italy, Iraq, Kuwait and Lebanon. His work has been featured in various publications including the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Newsweek, The Atlantic, The New Republic, CNN and Al-Jazeera.
Exhibitions of work from Nowhere People have been held in over twenty cities around the world. In 2011, a series of books from the Nowhere People project was released with the aim of not only chronicling and spreading more awareness of the plight of stateless people but also to help engage policy makers. Nowhere People is the third book in the series.
