Dana Gluckstein (born 1957) is a portrait photographer, filmmaker, and human rights advocate. She is known for her touring museum exhibition, DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition, and her book, DIGNITY: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.[1] It commemorates the 50th global anniversary of Amnesty International USA and includes the full text of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.[2] [3] [4]

Gluckstein's DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition exhibition was presented at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland in 2011.[5] Gluckstein spoke about "How Art can Impact the State of the World" at the 2013 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.[6] The exhibition has been touring European and U.S. museums since 2011 where Gluckstein speaks at museum openings and to the media.[7] [8]

Gluckstein's portraits are held in the permanent collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[9] the Santa Barbara Museum of Art,[10] and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.[11] Gluckstein lives in Los Angeles and graduated from Stanford University in 1979.[12] [13]

Career

Dana Gluckstein began her photography career freelancing for San Francisco Magazine in 1980 where she photographed celebrities such as Grace Slick for the weekly feature Personae.[14] Gluckstein photographed annual reports and advertising photography campaigns for clients such as Apple, Toyota and Chiat/Day.[15] Some ad campaigns sent her to foreign countries. After the assignments, she traveled to remote regions where she photographed Indigenous Peoples beginning a lifetime journey and body of work. Gluckstein's career continued to grow as she photographed iconic figures including Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Desmond Tutu, and Muhammad Ali.[16] [17] In 2010, Gluckstein created a human rights media campaign with her book, DIGNITY: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, in association with Amnesty International (AI) for its 50th global anniversary.[18] The AIUSA's action alert urged President Barack Obama to support the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).[19] [20]

The United States was one of only four votes against UNDRIP when it was originally adopted.[18] In January 2011, two months after DIGNITY was published and the media campaign had begun, President Obama reversed the USA position against the Declaration and officially announced USA support of UNDRIP.[21] [22] [23] UNDRIP is the first UN resolution that delineates the individual and collective rights of Indigenous Peoples and what every government must enact to ensure the well-being and survival of Indigenous Peoples.[24] The United States State Department sponsored Gluckstein's DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition photography exhibition at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland in 2011. Gluckstein, the keynote speaker, was introduced by the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mrs. Betty King, and U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mrs. Navanethem Pillay.[25] [26]

Gluckstein's decades-long work focuses on the worldwide movement against racial injustice.[27] [28] She is a collaborator with Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) in support of work to address disproportionately higher rates of sexual violence against Native American and Alaskan Native women.[29]
