The King’s Brazil Institute, in collaboration with the Arden Collection, are proud to host an exhibition of works featuring the celebrated Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Salgado. The exhibition, which runs from Thursday 12 July to Saturday 18 August, consists of works from the Arden Collection of 20th century photographs, including iconic photographs from Salgado’s early career.

As well as winning several major photographic prizes during his career, Salgado is now a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and an honorary member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States. He has contributed significantly to raising awareness of environmental issues in Brazil by working since the 1990s on the restoration and preservation of part of the Atlantic Forest. The images on display from the Arden Collection are from Salgado's work during the 1980s, featuring images of workers and migrants from around the world.

The exhibition is open to all and free to attend, and is open Monday to Saturday, 13:00 to 19:00 in the Inigo Rooms, Somerset House East Wing, Strand Campus, WC2R 2LS.
