Tim Hetherington ~ Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold

8 September – 1 October


Tim Hetherington’s exploration of Liberia between 2003 and 2007 brings an extraordinary range of characters to life: warlords and presidents, environmental activists and traditional hunters, political hustlers and democratic visionaries. During the time he spent in the country, Hetherington became fascinated with the dynamics of power, from the raw power wielded by the young men of rebel groups, to the corrupt power of the transitional government, to the possibilities of a democratically elected president.

This exhibition puts faces to the names behind the news headlines, and in doing so demonstrates that what happened in Liberia was not the product of an inexplicable and random chaos.
