Notes : Taken in February 2002 in the Angolan province of Bie, near Kuito, Guy Tillim’s Kunhinga Portraits portray displaced people, who in the months before the end of the civil war, fled in advance of the Angolan government’s “clearing” of regions where civilians had provided cover for UNITA soldiers. The subjects had walked for five days from Monge to seek refuge in the small town of Kunhinga in the safe havens provided by foreign agencies stationed in the area.
