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.”
