Representations of Violence: Art about the Sierra Leone Civil War
Representations of Violence: Art about the Sierra Leone Civil War is a display of 38 paintings and drawings documenting Sierra Leone’s decade long civil war. From 1991 to 2001, the people of Sierra Leone endured a brutal civil war ignored by most of the world. Thousands of innocents, especially children and babies, suffered horrific amputations, rape, mutilation and death. Over 50,000 people died in a conflict invisible to a world community distracted by war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
