Es un gran honor que el Festival Internacional de la Paz | El Comité de Premios del Festival Internacional de la Paix anuncia el ganador del Premio a la Trayectoria en el Arte de la Fotografía 2022-2023 que se otorgará al fotógrafo de bellas artes Dmitry Savchenko en el IPF | La ceremonia de entrega de premios FIP se llevará a cabo en Toronto, Canadá, el 25 de septiembre de 2022. Savchenko se ha convertido en uno de los principales cronistas del arte del ballet, desarrollando un estilo dramáticamente expresionista que captura la elegancia, el espíritu y la habilidad de su sujetos graciosos. Tanto un regalo visual como un estudio del movimiento, Savchenko pretende transmitir el ballet como una forma de arte y encarnación del aprendizaje no verbal y capturar la danza para crear momentos de emoción. A lo largo de su ilustre carrera, la obra del Sr. Savchenko se ha exhibido en los principales teatros del mundo, como The Metropolitan Opera (Nueva York), Opera National de Paris, Teatro alla Scala, Teatro Massimo (Palermo, Italia), Teatro Bolshoi de Rusia, Teatro Mariinsky, así como para campañas comerciales de otras instituciones teatrales administrativas y promociones dentro de la industria del ballet. Savchenko ha podido crear hasta el día de hoy una colección única de retratos de los principales maestros de escena del mundo en el ámbito de la ópera y el ballet. Desde 2006 hasta la actualidad, la obra de Dmitry Savchenko ha sido objeto de 33 importantes exposiciones internacionales en todo el mundo, dedicadas a las leyendas del ballet mundial. Su fotografía demuestra que siempre hay más humanidad por descubrir y celebrar. El ARTE de la Danza es una forma de arte escénica. Transmite cultura, emociones, cuenta historias y puede ser testimonio de un momento histórico o de un lugar de origen. También es un agente de conexiones: conecta con ritmos, con tradiciones culturales. Es una forma social de arte. Dado que la mayor parte de la comunicación humana es no verbal, como forma de arte no verbal, el potencial de la danza en la consolidación de la paz podría ser significativo. Sin embargo, aunque se utiliza ampliamente a nivel de base, la danza generalmente permanece fuera del catálogo estándar de prácticas de resolución de conflictos y consolidación de la paz. En los niveles micro de la construcción de la paz, el cambio comienza con el cambio de la visión del mundo de un individuo y de los espacios para encontrar nuevas metáforas de comprensión. La consolidación de la paz requiere diversas herramientas para abordar relaciones complejas y depende de la capacidad de ver nuevas perspectivas y construir interacciones. Las artes escénicas son un aspecto de un enfoque de construcción de paz de abajo hacia arriba que proporciona múltiples formas de interacción y la danza es un activo potencial para el campo de la consolidación de la paz, creando oportunidades para el aprendizaje no verbal y encarnado y las relaciones con el "otro". Como lenguaje simbólico comunicado a través del cuerpo, la danza es una herramienta para ayudar a los constructores de paz y a las comunidades en conflicto a desarrollar el alcance de su comunicación y comprensión. Al otorgar el premio Lifetime Achievement Award in the Art of Photography al Sr. Dmitry Savchenko, el Festival Internacional de la Paz | El Comité de Premios del Festival Internacional de la Paix honra y celebra los logros artísticos excepcionales del Sr. Savchenko al dar expresión a una forma de arte con un potencial significativo para conectar y brindar solidaridad y cooperación como estándares globales para el desarrollo humano. Aprovechamos esta oportunidad para felicitar al Sr. Savchenko por su nominación y por su destacado trabajo, contribución y uso innovador de la fotografía para explorar y dar forma a nuevos conceptos artísticos.

The International Peace Festival | Festival International de la Paix Awards Committee is privileged and honoured to announce that Edward Burtynsky, one of the world's most accomplished contemporary photographers, will be conferred the 2022-2023 Honorary Artistic Award at the IPF | FIP Awards Ceremony to be held in Toronto, Canada, on September 25, 2022. Mr. Burtynsky, a world-renowned photographic artist, known for his sweeping images of industrial projects and their effects on the environment, is perhaps the greatest chronicler alive of the injuries that humans have inflicted on the planet. For more than four decades, he has been documenting colossal mines, quarries, dams, roadways, factories, and trash piles—telling a story, frame by frame, of the lasting impact of human industry on the planet and the geological and biological cost of civilization. Mr. Burtynsky's photographs are included in the collections of over 60 major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Tate Modern in London, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. As an active lecturer on photographic art, Mr. Burtynsky's speaking engagements have been held at numerous international galleries and centers, including but not limited to the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.; George Eastman House in Rochester, NY; The Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal; the Art Gallery of Ontario, the TED conference; and Idea City and Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in Toronto. Exhibitions include the world premiere of Mr. Burtynsky’s multimedia art piece, In the Wake of Progress (2022) at the Luminato Festival and the Canadian Opera Company Theatre in Toronto, Canada; Anthropocene (2018) at the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada (international touring exhibition); Water (2013) at the New Orleans Museum of Art & Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans, Louisiana (international touring exhibition); Oil (2009) at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. (five-year international touring show), China (toured 2005 - 2008); Manufactured Landscapes at the National Gallery of Canada (touring from 2003 - 2005); and Breaking Ground produced by the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography (touring from 1988 - 1992). Mr. Burtynsky’s distinctions include the TED Prize, the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts, the Outreach award at the Rencontres d’Arles, the Roloff Beny Book award, and the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award. In 2006 he was awarded the title of Officer of the Order of Canada and in 2008 he was awarded the ICP Infinity Award for Art. In 2018 he was named Photo London's Master of Photography and the Mosaic Institute's Peace Patron. In 2019 he was the recipient of the Arts & Letters Award at the Canadian Association of New York’s annual Maple Leaf Ball and the 2019 Lucie Award for Achievement in Documentary Photography. Most recently he was awarded a Royal Photographic Society Honorary Fellowship (2020) and was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Photography Award (2022) by the World Photography Organization. He was also a key production figure in the award-winning documentary trilogy, Jennifer Baichwal's Manufactured Landscapes (2006), Watermark (2013) and ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch (2018), the latter two of which he codirected alongside Baichwal. All three films continue to play in festivals around the world. He currently holds eight honorary doctorate degrees. The IPF | FIP Honorary Artistic Award recognizes the specific nature of cultural and artistic work and the uniqueness of cultural and natural heritage conservation, protection and promotion as a critical contributor to peace. The award honours Mr. Burtynksy whose exceptional artistic achievements, celebrate humanity, provoke the imagination, and encourage people to go further, by giving a new thrust in the regulation of unsafe social, economic and ecological practices, focusing on the development of more resilient conservation models and wide-spread approaches that balance the needs of human and natural habitats. Mr. Burtynsky’s beautiful-yet-haunting imagery of industrial landscapes documents the scars of a ravaged earth and immerses viewers in the inconceivable impact that humans have had on the planet. It challenges us to have an important conversation about our legacy and the future implications of sustainable life on Earth. Mr. Burtynsky’s work is powerful and emotionally moving and makes us think about the footprint we are leaving behind, and the urgency to take action. We can think of no more outstanding contribution to the promotion of a culture of peace than that. Mr. Burtynsky, you have shown us through common values, such as respect, equity, harmony, and concrete manifestations of solidarity, that the future of civilization is bright. It depends on us all to ensure that we deliver on that promise. Thank you and congratulations on this latest and well-deserved recognition.
