"Disclosure: Rwandan Children Born of Rape" is a collection of works by Israeli photographer Jonathan Togovnik (1969-). Togovnik, who has been creating long-term documentaries on social issues and human rights, revisited the same family more than a decade after his previous work documenting children and their mothers born after the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Against the backdrop of the extremely difficult history of sexual violence in war, this work includes, for the first time, the voices of the grown-up children themselves, quietly revealing how parent-child relationships and relationships with society change over time. The structure, which juxtaposes photographs and testimonies, can be seen not merely as a record of events, but as an attempt to question the trauma that continues across generations and the possibility of recovery. This book is a highly project-driven work, planned and translated by photo critic Mariko Takeuchi, and is positioned as a Japanese-made photobook produced with the intention of global distribution, featuring both Japanese and English text. It is a work that makes us think about how photography can engage with society.
