Through the lens of Susan Meiselas
For almost five decades, Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas (US, 1948) has used her camera to bear witness and to connect. Meiselas has travelled the world covering a wide range of topics, from the sex industry to war to human rights violations. She draws attention to minorities and conflicts that are often overlooked. To this day, Susan Meiselas strives for direct contact and dialogue with the people she portrays. Her approach is collaborative and includes the perspective of the people she photographs.

Today, Meiselas is considered a forerunner not only for politically engaged photographers who carefully document, reflect on and contextualise their work, but also for photographers who collaborate with their subjects. Her work is propelled by urgent questions, not only about what photographs show, but also about whom they serve.
Discover the work of Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas on an active tour with a FOMU guide.
