This event has ended.

Fambul Tok the exhibition collects photographer Sara Terry’s years of work and investigation into the life and progress of Fambul Tok. Using ceremonies rooted in tradition, truth-telling bonfires and traditional cleansing, Fambul Tok (“Family Talk”) emerged in Sierra Leone as a unique community-owned program bringing together perpetrators and victims of the violence in Sierra Leone’s eleven-year civil war to talk, heal, and chart a new path forward, together.
