In the words of Michael Dawson, president of Photographic Arts Council Los Angeles (PAC LA), the nonprofit hosted probably its most important event ever in its 12-year history on September 13: a talk with internationally acclaimed documentary photographer and visual storyteller Susan Meiselas at the American Cinematheque’s Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. The event was free with registration, made possible with the support of Eastman Museum Los Angeles and just one of many events in PAC LA’s “Year of the Woman” series.
Meiselas, known for her documentation of human rights issues in Latin America, was also promoting the 2025 rerelease of her book, “Nicaragua,” and a book signing followed the talk.
The Meiselas event falls in line with PAC LA’s plans for future growth: Make new and leverage existing partnerships to produce public-facing events. For this event, PAC LA partnered with Arcana: Books on the Arts in Culver City, which sold Meiselas’ book and also promoted the event.
