Did You Know?

The brothers' pose echoes an iconic photograph of a child killed during a 1976 uprising against apartheid.

Description

Hugo’s series depicts Rwandan and South African children born after 1994, a year marked by Rwandan genocide and the end of apartheid in South Africa. Without direct experience of those horrors, can these children escape past hatreds and build a better world?
A photograph of two children with medium-dark skin tone standing in a field of white flowers. The older child is holding the younger child in their arms.
