Being Human
An Evening with Larry Towell
Thursday, September 23, 6:30-8:00pm
IRIS Nights is pleased to offer an evening with photojournalist Larry Towell.
Towell will be discussing photographs from his career in photojournalism and beyond. Not your standard photojournalist, Towell's business card reads "Human Being," and experiences as a poet and a folk musician have done much to shape his personal style.
The son of a car repairman, Towell grew up in a large family in rural Ontario. During studies in visual arts at Toronto's York University, he was given a camera and taught how to process black-and-white film. A stint of volunteer work in Calcutta in 1976 further inspired Towell to photograph and write. In 1984, he became a freelance photographer and writer focusing on issues such as dispossessed peoples, exile and peasant rebellion. He completed projects on the Nicaraguan Contra War, the relatives of the disappeared in Guatemala and American Vietnam War veterans who returned to Vietnam to rebuild the country after the war. His first published magazine essay, "Paradise Lost," exposed the ecological consequences of the catastrophic Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound. He became a Magnum nominee in 1988, and a full member in 1993.
In 1996, Towell completed a project based on ten years of reportage in El Salvador, followed the next year by a major book on the Palestinians. His fascination with landlessness also led him to document the Mennonite migrant workers of Mexico, an eleven-year project completed in 2000. With the help of the inaugural Henri Cartier-Bresson Award, he finished a second highly-acclaimed book on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in 2005. In 2008, Towell released the award-winning The World From My Front Porch, a project on his own family in rural Ontario where he sharecrops a 75-acre farm.
