Lost Voices of Darfur,” an exhibition of 100 crayon and colored-pencil drawings by refugee children from Darfur, is on display in Gargan Hall through March 27. It contains a selection of the 500 drawings collected by the human rights group Waging Peace and submitted to the International Criminal Court in The Hague as evidence of war crimes. Waging Peace is showing the drawings around the world to “raise awareness about the crisis in Darfur and, in particular, the impact the continued atrocities are having on children.” Rebecca Tinsley, a British journalist and chair of Waging Peace, spoke at the March 11 opening of the exhibit, which was sponsored by the Graduate School of Social Work, the Center for Human Rights and International Justice, and the Center for the Arts and Social Responsibility. Pictured above (l-r) are Tinsley; Christina Lohrisch of Waging Peace; Professor David Hollenbach, SJ, director of the Center for Human Rights and International Justice; Brenden Dougherty ’10; Alberto Godenzi, dean of the Graduate School of Social Work; and Ryan Gelchion ’10.
