The University of Colorado at Boulder's Norlin Library will host a photography exhibit on the Sudan crisis by documentary photographer Ryan Spencer Reed from Jan. 22 through Jan. 28.

"Hands of a Displaced Sudan: The Cost of Silence" is free and open to the public during normal library hours and will be exhibited in the Norlin Library HotSpot located in the southwest area of the first floor.

The exhibit is part of a four-year effort by Reed to document the genocide unfolding in Sudan and shows the displacement and aftermath of the conflict that has killed or displaced several million people.

The exhibit is co-sponsored by University Libraries, CU-Boulder Friends of the Libraries, Group M35, Â鶹ÒùÔº Taking Action Now Darfur and Let Your Voice Be Heard.

Norlin Library is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to midnight.

After graduating from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., in 2002, Reed traveled to east Africa to begin his project.
