Dominic Nahr / Pays brisé
Les Rencontres d’Arles 2016
Monday 04 July 2016
10:00 - 19:30
Location: Fondation manuel rivera-ortiz
By gaining independence on July 9, 2011, the youngest nation of the world was born: The General Assembly of the United Nations welcomed South Sudan as 193rd member, praising it as a model for security, peace, prosperity, friendship and cooperation between peoples. Five years after independence the UN reported on the desperate situation in South Sudan: War, violence, famine, and disease have driven the East African nation into a humanitarian catastrophe. By tracing the paths of families as they crisscrossed the country in search of safety, and by spending time with men inflicting this suffering, Nahr points at the dissonance between the original concept of a peaceful, united country and the reality its people are facing.
From July 4 to September 25, 10am to 7:30am.
