Good work on Sierra Leone, Askia. Keep up the good work.

We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is ripe to do right.

> About this Exhibit:
>
> This exhibition allows art to reflect on contemporary history.
> In 1991, civil war broke out in Sierra Leone. The paintings and
> drawings in this exhibition tell gruesome narratives that many of
> the artists themselves witnessed. Both art and music have become
> powerful media of social commentary, inspiring responses. What
> the world knows of the horrific war in Sierra Leone is that
> thousands of people have lost limbs, loved ones and their lives.
> Over 50,000 Sierra Leoneans have died. Thousands were driven out
> of the country as refugees. Some are living in Western Europe and
> North America. Most are living in neighboring countries.
