Children of Rwanda: Holistic aftermath photography in post-genocide conditions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleScientificpeer-review

Abstract

In this contribution, I think with the photography of Jonathan Torgovnik, Olaf Heine and Pieter Hugo about visual representations of children in post-genocide Rwanda. I suggest a holistic aftermath photography that both acknowledges the legacies of the past and envisions forward-looking perspectives. However, given the complexity of post-genocide conditions and the limits of photographic representation, even such a photography will not give viewers the assurance they might wish to be given.
