During her career, Dana Gluckstein has photographed iconic figures from Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev to Muhammad Ali, and produced award-winning advertising campaigns for clients such as Apple, Land Rover and Toyota. Her vision is most vividly revealed in her photographs of Indigenous Peoples, many of which are held in museum collections. Whether photographing a Haitian healer or a San Bushmen chief, Gluckstein infuses each portrait with an essential dignity. Her photographs exhibit “a passionate complicity between artist and sitter that allows each subject to be memorialized with beauty and grace,” the late renowned Los Angeles County Museum of Art photography curator, Robert Sobieszek explained.

Gluckstein graduated from Stanford University, where she studied psychology, painting, and photography, and realized the power of images to shape consciousness. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
