From "The Lost Boys of Sudan"

After Hours: The University of Minnesota's Department of Art has a multi-talented staff who are accomplished in their own right. Because of their positions are “day positions” with the Department of Art, the only time they have to work on their own creative work is “after hours.”

The Lost Boys of Sudan: The Lost Boys of Sudan is as a one-of-a- kind collection created by young Sudanese refugee artists living in Camp Kakuma in Kenya. The pieces, drenched in color, depict the lush Sudanese countryside and its rich culture. Other paintings are often startling in the way they portray the atrocities of war.
