Darfur/Darfur

Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art is presenting an exhibition of images from the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region on Friday, September 7.  Photographers include renown photojournalists, and one former U.S. Marine.  Their work will be projected inside the ICA’s Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater, and accompanied by Sudanese-inspired music, as part of the unique traveling exhibit, Darfur/Darfur.  The exhibit will be here for one day only as part of its tour of 24 U.S. cities in as many months.

The rotating, digitally projected images provide visual education about the richly multicultural region while exposing the horrors of the ongoing crisis.  In the evening, these projected images will be visible outside the museum as well, through the glass walls of the theater.

Tickets for the overview of the crisis and needs of the refugees, and the keynote address are sold out.  However, admission to the exhibit is free with museum admission.

After 8:30 PM there will be a free outdoor musical performance by Berklee College of Music Voices of Mercy, performing original music written to raise awareness of the plight of women and children affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
