An inside look at the ART WORKS' exhibit BLOOD/STONES: Burmese Rubies.

BLOOD/STONES: Burmese Rubies is a new multi-media exhibition featuring the photographs of Christian Holst. The exhibit offers an intimate view of the Burmese ruby trade—the enormous wealth it generates, and the effect it has on the country’s most precious resource, its citizens. Holst’s photographs address failures in education and health care, oppressive military and government rule, ethnic discrimination and cleansing, and other atrocities. At the same time, his photographs show the beauty of the country, the resilience of the people, and the power of peaceful protest.
