Heavy loads and hilly terrain: Grace Acan explains the meanings of this drawing

Annotation: Grace Acan explains what the drawing featured in the exhibit represents. Transcript (by Patricia Trudel): " [...] from the drawings. This represents, this is like a cross-section of a hill. While in captivity, there was one place that LRA moved while in South Sudan. So it was a very hilly mountain that nobody has ever been there. So they cut this thick bush, they go through hiding while they were being pursued by the government, the Ugandan government so yes. So, this represents, this is one of the drawings from the storytelling sessions. This was, as you can see, on a hill, you will see a soldier, you will see soldiers in between women carrying heavy loads. This represents actually the burdens that women and children bore during LRA captivity. See, despite heavy loads, you have your child on your back, and you are climbing a very steep hill. You don't know where you're going to end. From behind you're being pursued by government soldiers; if they get to you, you'll be killed. Yes, so like there's a lot of story to tell about in this."
