Richard Fleming

Program Director of the 2015 Ghetto Biennale Radyo Shak in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Richard Fleming is a self-described chronic relaxationist, amateur musicologist, culinary explorer, obsessive ornithologist, dj, documentary audio recordist, travel addict, author, and photographer. He has camped in the frozen deserts of Antarctica, accompanied Kofi Annan around the world in eight days, flown missions over Kandahar with the US Army Reserve, followed Imelda Marcos on the presidential campaign trail in the Philippines, and sweltered on the decks of a nuclear aircraft carrier plying the waters of the Persian Gulf. In the summer of 2000 he walked across Cuba, traveling from Pinar del Rio in the west to Guantánamo city in the east. The experiences from that journey became the book Walking to Guantánamo, published by Commons Books in 2008. His photographs, travel writing and journalism have appeared in The Times of London, The Miami Herald, The Suddeutsche Zeitung, and Cabinet Magazine, among other publications.
