Global Health in Focus
Photographs by Kristen Ashburn, Dominic Chavez, & David Rochkind
February 9 – March 24, 2012
Through arresting images, three photographers document the heavy toll that global health issues take on the developing world. Their poignant photographs invite us beyond the grim, faceless statistics and bring us in close contact with people—mothers, fathers, children —confronted by enormous hardship.
