Picturing peace in the DR Congo -- Hugh Kinsella Cunningham Hosted by the University of St Andrews' Visualising War and Peace project
This photography exhibition showcases the courageous work of women fighting to restore peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through a series of colourful images and portraits, photographer Hugh Kinsella Cunningham (an award-winning photojournalist and finalist in this 2022's Amnesty Media Awards) shines a light on this forgotten conflict. The project is unique in its effort to document the slow work of peace and the determination of women who advocate for human rights, justice and security in their conflict-affected communities.
