PACE ACADEMY FINE ARTS CENTER

Journey around the world with National Geographic photographer, Alison Wright, as she captures the universal human spirit through her photographs. Ms. Wright, a New York based documentary photographer, has spent a career capturing the universal human spirit through her photographs and writing. A recipient of the Dorothea Lange Award in Documentary Photography for her work with child labor in Asia, Alison travels to the remotest regions of the globe photographing endangered cultures and people while covering issues concerning the human condition for many of her projects. The photos from her latest book, “Face to Face: Portraits of the Human Spirit,” portrays the indomitable spirit that lives within us all. It is what bonds us as mankind, a continued thread, as together we continue on this journey in the pilgrimage of life.  The photos from her latest book, Face to Face: Portraits of the Human Spirit, portray the indomitable spirit that lives within us all. Wright’s work will grace the cover of next month’s issue of National Geographic.  The public is invited to view 20 of Wright’s photographs in the Pace Academy Fine Arts Center.
