local Sudanese VCU student artshow at VA Holocaust Museum-

Local southern Sudanese VCU student Awer("Ah-where") Bul will be displaying his personal paintings along with photos taken from his recent visit to Kenya and the surrounding area and a short documentary he made at the VA Holocaust Museum within the upcoming weeks of September. This show will be displayed in conjunction with the Darfur Diaries screening in November. Awer is from a Dinka tribe in south Sudan which already experienced a civil war with northern Sudan back in the 1990's. He came to Richmond, VA 6 yrs. ago with 2 siblings via the Episcopal Diocese and has been attending VCU for video and painting. His story relates to the Darfurian peoples as he is displaced just as they are, and we are proud to have him as a guest speaker on the panel Nov. 12th.
