Thy Brothers’ Keeper is an exhibition of approximately 150

international recognition and awards, including Pulitzer Prize and  
other awards of the highest excellence.

The photographers, who live and work around the globe, were selected  
by exhibition curator Geno Rodriguez, Director of The Alternative  
Museum, an online museum, and six guest curators selected by Mr.

Galleries (Capetown), Wu Jiabao, Director, Fotosoft (Taiwan),

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.
