Tim Hetherington’s Photographs from Liberia Featured at the Alice Austin House

In Liberia, as the end of a brutal dictatorship has brought new hope for stability in West Africa, it has also raised questions about how to ensure democracy in a country ravaged by decades of violence. Tim Hetherington's photographs, which document the dismantling of Charles Taylor’s regime, provide a unique perspective. Though the media often portray Liberia as a place of mindless chaos and faceless victims, Hetherington’s work reveals the personal lives that are irrevocably changed by the events of war.

Tim Hetherington's No Condition Is Permanent, shown as part of the Open Society Institute Moving Walls 11 exhibit, is on view at the Alice Austen House museum beginning September 30, 2007.
