Photographer Eric Gottesman, a Duke alum ('98), will talk about his longtime collaborative work with a children's art collective in Ethiopia, Sudden Flowers, featured in his new book of the same name. Several of the collective members will be in attendance. Reception beforehand and book signing following. Gottesman started the project while he was a Hart Fellow (1999-2000), the Sanford School of Public Policy's leadership program, during which time he worked with Save the Children-US in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. His work has been exhibited in Africa and the U.S., and has published his photos and writing in a number of national publications, including the International Herald-Tribune, the Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Gottesman's work was featured in the 2003 edition of "25 Under 25," an acclaimed book series published by the Center for Documentary Studies and powerHouse Books that surveyed work from 25 notable young American photographers.
