growing in the goo

For those of you who will be in the area over the next few days, I've heard that there is an amazing, tragic, poignant exhibit at the Holocaust Museum.

Let's get it out there: the Holocaust Museum is a downer. I confess that I pretty much avoid it like the plague...I've only been there once, and that was on graduation day.

But this exhibit is a tribute to Darfur. Something that can't be ignored. And it seems like it's a clever piece, in artistic terms—a projector beams a huge slideshow onto the walls of the building, for much of the city to see.

Here's a link to the Washington Post article: The Darkest Light.

I wish that a) I had found out about this sooner, and b) whoever runs the Darfur rallies/exhibits/etc. would stop always holding them on holiday weekends when I'm out of town.
