TRANSITIONS.
A Four-part International Exhibition & Cultural Exchange
ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION
TRANSITIONS is a four-part international cultural exchange between the cities of Bogotá, Colombia; Chicago, Illinois; Goma, the Democratic Republic of Congo; and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This exhibition highlights several national journeys of transitional justice in post-conflict environments. Through collaboration, community conversations, and workshops, the four teams of curators and photographers explored and reflected upon the unique and shared experiences of their country’s evolution from war to peace, alongside the lessons learned by their colleagues and audiences.
