Congo/Women

Hello friends,

Here's the link to an exhibit of photographs of women from the DR Congo, as you might have guessed from the title: http://congowomen.org/

I really like this project because I think that the photographs are fairly respectful of the women. I think it can be a difficult line to discern between showing suffering that is necessary for the world to see, and using others' suffering to tell a story that maybe isn't yours to tell, or to make art that is impactful.

I think the photography is stunningly beautiful and does a good job of both showing suffering but also resilience and beauty and strength.
