Toward Greater Awareness:
Darfur and American Activism
September 4 - December 7, 2012
Emily Lowe Gallery
This exhibition – featuring large-scale sculpture by American artist Mitch Lewis – focuses on the genocide that occurred in Darfur and Sudan from 2003 to 2006, as well as the American response to the crisis. The artist states, “These works address the physical and psychological scars left on mankind by a culture of violence and brutality. My figures possess an otherworldly aura and communicate a sense of solitude and alienation. Yet I have infused each figure with a strength and dignity that intimates a hope for the future.”
