To delve deeper into the subjects and issues raised in this special
exhibition, the Flint Institute of Arts will offer a variety of
related programs. The FIA will present, in its newly renovated
theatre, selections from The Human Rights Watch traveling film
festival, including Private, State of Fear and Living Rights. Videos
by Nina Berman, Sharon Paz and Lucian Perkins will be on view during
the run of the exhibition in the FIA’s Fleckenstein Video Gallery. On
Saturday, April 22, the FIA will host a panel discussion moderated by
FIA Director John Henry, with panelists Geno Rodriguez, Carol Guzy,
and Colin Bossen, Intern Minister, Unitarian Universalist Church of
Long Beach (California).
The FIA Library will be established during the exhibition as a quiet
place for FIA visitors to sit, reflect and respond to the issues
addressed in the show, through writing or drawings. Educator
Workshops will also be offered by the FIA, so that teachers may learn
how to identify and discuss the big ideas and enduring themes with
their students.
During the run of Thy Brothers’ Keeper, the FIA will also present the
exhibition The Human Condition: After Effects. This exhibition
contains 57 photographs, featuring award winning photographic essays
by outstanding photographers who explore the many physical and
psychological issues related to the after effects of war on children.
