There is a great exhibit coming to Washington, DC on March 5. Congo/Women is an international photography exhibition that works to shed light on the continuing violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Over five million people have been killed in the past ten years, with women and girls being subjected to extreme gender violence. The bold, evocative work of photojournalists Lynsey Addario, Marcus Bleasdale, Ron Haviv and James Nachtwey is accompanied by several contextual essays. This is very closely related to the work that we are doing on the In the Light project. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by the event.
