I went to a conference on global health at UBC today. The last talk by Dr. Shafik Dharamsi had to do with ethics and responsibility. The conversations were relevant and when he showed this documentary film, They Come In The Name Of Helping, I felt like I was watching a video version of my thesis. The dialogue that occurs reflects the concepts I have looked at with the women in Rwanda. It takes a bit to load but is well worth watching.

During the summer, I worked on a book with words from Rwanda. I found it incredibly therapeutic and it became a way to encourage my analog side. I can find myself stuck on the computer too often and this helped me look at things from a different angle using language and image.

This word itorero means congregation or place where people gather.

We also got some media coverage over the course of the summer. Here's an article that appeared in the New Times paper after our exhibit. Click on the image to read.
