CARNIVAL STRIPPERS by SUSAN MEISELAS

In the organizer's words:

CARNIVAL STRIPPERS by Susan Meiselas - A Photobook Landmark - 1976-2022

Vernissage : Saturday 14.9.2024 from 19:00

Between 1972 and 1975, photographer Susan Meiselas photographed and interviewed striptease dancers who toured small towns in the USA. She accompanied the women's public performances, portrayed them backstage and thus became an unobserved observer of the interaction between the dancers, their friends, the show managers and paying customers.
The photo book "Carnival Strippers" shows a courageous struggle of these women for identity and self-esteem and brought a hidden world to the public. A photographic masterpiece of the international women's movement that gives women a voice as a photographic essay.
