A new collection of large format prints on fabric from the DARFUR/DARFUR exhibit will show at the dramatic reading of Winter Miller's play "In Darfur" Wed., November 12th, 2008 at the Spertus Institute in Chicago.

If you missed Leslie Thomas's multimedia exhibit, you can see selected photographs in a recent book called DARFUR/DARFUR: LIFE/WAR, which includes a foreword by writer and academic Samantha Power.

To discuss its January release, Jerome caught up with up with Leslie Thomas and photojournalist Mark Brecke, whose pictures appear in the book and the original multi-media collage.

We revisit a portion of that interview, which originally aired in May. Jerome asked Thomas if it was difficult to capture the exhibit on the page.
