Rwanda: Intended Consequences exhibition

Anquan, a visitor to my blog, shared the following link with me.

Link: Intended Consequences [FLYP Media]

FLYP is an exciting online magazine touching on politics, art and media in America.  The current issue has an article on Jonathan Torgovnik, who presently has an exhibition at New York's Aperture Gallery entitled Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape

"Torgovnik's work includes portraits of the women with their children in and around their homes, as well as each woman's story.  He says that many have not told their children the truth about the attacks they suffered.  The mother's fear the children will be rejected by society, in the same way that others who have told their secret to surviving members of their families have been disowned" - FLYP Media

The exhibition continues until May whereafter it will tour nationally.
