Sebastião Salgado - Art for Action - ART 2030

Sebastião Salgado's contribution to Art for Action. Graduated as an economist, Sebastião Salgado began his career as a photographer in 1973 in Paris. He has witnessed wars, revolutions, coups, humanitarian crises, famine, and has also seen some of the most pristine places on the planet – locations and peoples untouched by the modern world. In 1998, together with his partner Lélia, he set up Instituto Terra in Brazil, a non-profit civil organisation focusing on reforestation, environmental education and sustainable rural development in the Rio Doce valley, in the state of Minas Gerais. Today, Instituto Terra has created a forest rich in a variety of flora and fauna endemic to the Atlantic Forest, and has also developed a programme to recover, protect and preserve water resources in the Doce river basin, restoring tens of thousands of sources to date. In 2021, the couple launched their latest project: “Amazônia”, a book and major photographic exhibition on the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous communities, calling for the preservation of this biodiversity that is so important for the planet and for the protection of these threatened populations. Art for Action is a hybrid initiative aiming to inspire action for the Sustainable Development Goals by highlighting best practices from trailblazers, changemakers and advocates from all levels of the art sector who are taking the lead in using the transformative power of art to shift the world onto a just, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable path.
