Photography Exhibit: Yuyanapaq by The Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Yuyanapaq: To Remember
October 31, 2011 to December 4, 2011 EDT
Buchanan Hall, Atrium
The traveling Yuyanapaq Photography Exhibit, produced by the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chronicles the political violence that ravaged Peru between 1980 and 2000. The photography exhibit, entitled “Yuyanapaq,” which means “To remember” in Quechua, chronicles the brutal conflict between the Shining Path insurgency and the Peruvian state, which left 69,000 dead in its wake, as well as the valiant efforts of ordinary Peruvians to resist violence and restore democracy to the country. This exhibit will be the backdrop for various events and speakers hosted by the Center for Global Studies and the Latin American Studies program at GMU and will be on display in the Mason Hall Atrium from October 31 to December 4, 2011.
Sponsored by Latin American Studies Program and the Human Rights & Global Justice Working Group at the Center for Global Studies.
