"Fambul Tok" Book and Exhibition Launch

Using ceremonies rooted in tradition, truth-telling bonfires, and traditional cleansing, Fambul Tok (“Family Talk” in Krio) originated in Sierra Leone as a unique community-owned program bringing together perpetrators and victims of the violence in Sierra Leone’s eleven-year civil war to talk, heal, and chart a new path forward, together. This book takes us by the hand as we experience this extraordinary journey of reconciliation, one that offers new insights and an original model for peacemaking to the rest of the world.

Along with essays and photographs, the book includes an extensive chronology and bibliography and original source documents from the peace process.

Please join Umbrage Editions and the authors John Caulker and Libby Hoffman and photographer Sara Terry for a cocktail reception to celebrate the exhibition and book launch of Fambul Tok.
