Photojournalist Donna DeCesare and playwright Jeff Solomon are two extraordinary chroniclers of our times. Each uses the power of their art and reporting to amplify the voices of people under seige.

DeCesare covered the war in El Salvador in the 1980s and was moved by scenes of devastation and was deeply affected by the impact of trauma on children. In her recent exhibit, Sharing Secrets, she documents the painful lives of Central American kids raised during and in the aftermath of war. She also looks at the fate of Colombian children
raised in violence.

Solomon, in his new play "De Novo: Part One, Lil' Silent", uses images to tell the story of undocumented youth in US immigration custody. Some of those images were taken by DeCesare and shared with him.
