Visit Celebrating Women |
Paola Gianturco’s photographs will be shown at UNESCO’s International Headquarters in Paris from March 9-23, 2011. The exhibit, presented in collaboration with the United States Permanent Delegation to UNESCO, is titled Women at Work, Women’s Lives and includes 14 of Paola’s images taken all over the world, as well as work by other prominent U.S. women photographers. The exhibit is open to the public at 7 place de Fontenoy, Paris. In 2008, Gianturco presented a slide lecture to all member countries’ ambassadors at UNESCO headquarters on International Women’s Day; in 2009, her solo exhibit, Celebrating Women, was featured during the month-long celebration arranged annually by UNESCO’s Division for Gender Equality, Bureau of Strategic Planning. |

In March, Paola participated in a round table discussion with U.S. women photographers Barbara Goodbody and Donna de Cesare, whose work was included in the UNESCO exhibit, Women at Work, Women’s Lives. The moderator was curator Anne B. Zill from the University of New England. Paola’s recent Ted Talk is now online: a whirlwind tour of the world of women whose lives she has documented in 55 countries over the past fifteen years. Presenting at TEDX Traverse City May 17, 2011, she spoke immediately after Jerry LInenger, astronaut (as you will guess from her comments). Event sponsors, FIM Group and The Utopia Foundation, matched all donations to the speakers' favorite charities and made sure that everything from gift bags to lunch boxes were recyclable. Gratitude and kudos to them! |
