An exhibit of photographs taken by Rwandan
children, ages 7-18, is on display now in the Brooklyn Children’s
Museum library (145 Brooklyn Ave. at St. Mark’s Avenue in Crown
Heights) now through March 27. The exhibit, "Through the
Eyes of Children: The Rwanda Project," is the culmination
of four years of photographic workshops taken by kids at the
Imbabazi Orphanage in Gisenyi, Rwanda, who were orphaned by the
1994 genocide. The exhibit, which includes "Gadi" (at
left), shot by 8-year-old Jacqueline, was previously displayed
at Manhattan’s Angelika Theater for the premiere of Terry George’s
film "Hotel Rwanda."
At the museum, the exhibition also features photographs taken
by members of the museum’s Kids Crew afterschool program who
have also taken photography workshops and exchanged letters and
cards with the Rwandan children.
Admission is $4. For more information, call (718) 735-4400.
