Images for Social Change

Rudi Dundas is a photographer focused on social change and environmental issues. She has traveled on horseback into the Tien Shan Mountains in central Asia to photograph wild tulips for Michael Pollan’s film, BOTANY OF DESIRE, as well as to Rwanda and Ethiopia to cover sustainable farming for Pete’s Coffee. She recently returned from West Bengal, shooting drinking water issues for Blue Planet Network.

Rudi has exhibited internationally. She worked at the Gobelins in Paris, and in New York City creating tapestries based upon her photographic images. From 1989-1995, she was co-director and owner of a non-profit gallery in Soho in NYC. A past recipient of fellowships from the NEA and the New York Foundation for the Arts, she currently serves on the board of directors of Artforum magazine.

Her presentation will cover the evolution of her photography and the ways in which she creates and funds imagery for social change. See her photo essay on our blog and visit her website rudidundas.com.
