Blood Bonds: 
Reconciliation in Post-Genocide Rwanda

Publication date: October 2025

Photobooks
Blood Bonds is a new photobook by photographer Jan Banning and journalist Dick Wittenberg, with an essay on forgiveness by philosopher Marjan Slob. It addresses the genocide in Rwanda, the reconciliation programs that followed, and presents 18 joint portraits of survivors and perpetrators.

The 1994 genocide in Rwanda was one of the most intimate and large-scale acts of violence of the 20th century. In just 100 days between 800,000 and one million people were killed. The book recalls these events and places them in the longer history of tensions between Hutus and Tutsis, colonial manipulation, ethnic propaganda, and civil war.

Birds of a Feather

Publication date: December 2025

Photobooks
Birds of a Feather is a new photobook by Claire Rosen presenting 120 color portraits of live birds, set against opulent, historically inspired backdrops. This interplay of subject and setting invites reflection on themes of beauty, domestication, and the human impulse to collect and classify the natural world.

Ranging from colorful parrots and rosy-hued flamingos, to stoic falcons and darling owls, to backyard chickens and ducks – the images highlight the individuality of each bird, revealing personalities as vivid as their plumage.

Photographer Ying Ang’s new book, Fruiting Bodies, is a striking photographic exploration of mushrooms as both biological forms and feminist symbols.
