The Truth Told Project – Join us for a one night only journey into the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through the eyes of local photographer Sarah Fretwell. Sarah spent 50 days in the North Kivu region of the DRC exploring the lives of girls and women living in isolated communities. Learn about the state of women in the DRC, our direct connection to the conflict, and how you can become an advocate for change. This is an evening of story telling through art you want to be sure to attend. This event takes place on April 26th, 5:30pm, Contemporary Arts Forum, 653 Paseo Nuevo.
