Darfur: Photojournalists Respond 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
|
The Holocaust Museum Houston hosts the world-premiere exhibit "Darfur: Photojournalists Respond." Internationally-known photojournalists focus on the Darfur tragedy in a new exhibit at the Holocaust Museum Houston.
Today, in the Darfur region of western Sudan, the world faces human suffering on a scale difficult to imagine. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or forcibly displaced from their homes. Eight photographers who have witnessed the atrocities there first-hand have taken unforgettable photographs that serve as a testimony to the injustices occurring daily in Darfur. Their work forms the backdrop of a new world-premiere exhibit at Holocaust Museum Houston. The exhibit "Darfur: Photojournalists Respond" features 30 photographs from those eight photographers, all of whom participated in the book "Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan," created in partnership with Proof: Media for Social Justice, Amnesty International and Holocaust Museum Houston and edited by Leora Kahn.
