Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood is pleased to host local photographer Dana Gluckstein as she discusses and signs Dignity: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, on Sunday, November 14 at 3pm.

Dignity honors Indigenous Peoples worldwide and celebrates the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights organization. With more than ninety black-and-white portraits of Indigenous Peoples spanning three decades, this richly printed coffee table book distills the universality of experience that links us all without diminishing the dignity of the individual.

Dana Gluckstein has photographed iconic figures including Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Muhammad Ali. Her portraits of Indigenous Peoples are held in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. 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.
