It is with deep sorrow and reverence that we acknowledge the loss of Sebastião Salgado, one of the world’s most powerful artists, who impressed upon our collective memory landscapes marked by both suffering and resilience. He was a man who dedicated his life to advocating for human dignity, environmental justice, and the essential interconnectedness between people and the planet. UNISCAPE is particularly grateful for Salgado’s generous contribution to a deeper understanding of landscape as both a place of belonging and a field of rights. His visual legacy will continue to inspire our work across disciplines and borders, reminding us that landscape is not only what we see — it is how we relate to each other and to the fragile bonds that hold us together on this shared Planet.
With gratitude and memory,
UNISCAPE
