EXPOSURE/Aftermath Workshop in Northern Uganda Presentations

The [EXPOSURE] Uganda workshop participants will present their work, followed by a question and answer session and a viewing of the gallery in the Slater Concourse Gallery across the street in Aidekman Arts Center. The August 2008 Exposure workshop in Northern Uganda was conducted under the guidance of Sara Terry, of the Aftermath Project, and Stephen Alvarez, of National Geographic magazine. Seven Tufts undergraduates, one EPIIC International alumna from Delhi University in India, and one graduate student from the Fletcher School spent eight days using photography to examine the brutal legacy of conflict in Northern Uganda. Students' photo essay topics ranged from the Pabbo IDP camp, the return home, the legacy of trauma, and focused stories about several different Ugandans. The students each worked with fixer-translators from a Ugandan NGO working with former child soldiers. This is the first workshop conducted under the guidance of Ms. Terry and Mr. Alvarez.
