What is the National Vision for Sierra Leone?

The National Vision for Sierra Leone (NVSL) is a groundbreaking, unique cultural program featuring artwork, literature, essays, performance and installation by Sierra Leoneans of all ages and backgrounds expressing their hopes for a post-conflict Sierra Leone of peace, unity and pride. The NVSL is both a portable exhibit and an ongoing project. Today it is managed by the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone.

“I am amazed at the resilience of people. That after horrendous conflict, suffering and trauma they can emerge hopeful that their beautiful country, Sierra Leone, can be transformed from devastation, ruin and hopelessness to their glorious counterparts. ….. Maybe not overnight, not tomorrow, but in the future I believe Sierra Leone can become a beacon of hope to other conflict torn regions. I believe this will happen because it is the people of Sierra Leone who want it to happen and are willing to work to make it happen. It is their acceptance of the responsibility that their future is in their hands that is so wonderfully exhilarating.”

Desmond M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus. May 18, 2004

“The National Vision is among the most beautiful efforts I have seen on the part of a people to rebuild their nation one step at a time.... the National Vision for Sierra Leone is one of the most significant reconciliation initiatives to come out of any truth commission to date....if properly fostered, it may have a lasting impact not only on Sierra Leone, but on transitional justice more generally.”

Dr. Alex Boraine, Founder and former Chairperson of the Board, International Center for Transitional Justice, former Vice-Chairperson of the South African TRC. May 12, 2004
