そして、私が行った際には、運良く "34 olhares contra o esquecimento" というphotojournalism関連の展示が開催されていたのですが、 衝撃的で、その場を離れられなくなりました。 残念ながら1/10までだったようですが、機会があれば是非見ていただきたいものです。 各国を回っているようですが、一応英訳は読んでみたものの、 私も詳しいことはよく分からないので、 何か情報があれば、ぜひ教えてください!

It is with the objectivo of mobilizing the public opinion for the populations forgotten that the exhibition" 34 glances against the forgetfulness" saw the light of the day in 2006, during the Festival "Visa pour l'image" of Perpignan.

As he/she refers the president of MdM-France, to "visit the exhibition" 34 glances against the Forgetfulness" won't be a course easy to accomplish. It is not treated of a neutral exhibition that can travel without emotion. The risk - the invitation - it is after all that, to the exit, the visitor-citizens show, also them, against the forgetfulness."
