Intended Consequences • By Jonathan Torgovnik
June 19 - October 3, 2010 • An estimated 20,000 children were born of rapes that occurred during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Fifteen years later, the mothers of these children still face enormous challenges, not least of which is the stigma of bearing and raising a child fathered by a Hutu militiaman. Over the past three years, photographer Jonathan Torgovnik has made repeated visits to Rwanda to document the stories of these women. The portraits and testimonies featured in Intended Consequences offer intensely personal and honest accounts of these survivors' experiences of the genocide, as well as their conflicted feelings about raising a child who is a palpable reminder of horrors endured. -
HAITI: 12 JANUARY 2010 • By Ron Haviv
April 10 - June 13, 2010 • Up to 200,000 people may have died, according to Haitian officials, after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake tore through the capital of Port au Prince and the surrounding areas. The quake left hundreds of thousands homeless and in need of emergency aid as NGOs struggled to get aid into the country. A bottleneck at the damaged airport, unreachable docks and obstructed roads were some of the impediments facing aid workers. Tensions grew in the capital as shortages of food and medical supplies spurred looting and sporadic violence. VII photographer Ron Haviv arrived in Haiti the day after the earthquake to document the events that unfolded in the aftermath of the quake. Currently on display at the VII Gallery in Dumbo, this exhibit will travel to Fovea in April. Curated by Sabine Meyer. -

FAITH • By Christopher Churchill
November 14, 2009 - March 7, 2010 • In producing this work Christopher Churchill traveled throughout the country without any specific route. He shot black and white film with an 8"x10" field camera. His reliance on unrelated events was his guide to different destinations and encounters, placing faith in this process. Mr. Churchill says, “during these trips, randomly driving around the country, events occurred all the time that made me feel a part of something larger. As I began to release control and trust in these seemingly random occurrences amazing things would happen. I began to accept these sequences of events as a manifestation of my own faith and deeper understanding of my place in the world.” The photographs, stories, and audio recordings were made throughout the United States from 2004-2009 and show the diversity of our nation and the ways in which we manifest a human need, and faith as a way that we understand our place in the world.
