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.
