DESCRIPTION:
...
hector.jpg, image/jpeg, 250x374 Hector Aristiz?bal came of age in Medell?n, Colombia?at the time, the most dangerous city in the world. He?s been arrested and suffered torture: beatings, water-boarding, mock executions, electric shock to the genitals, and more. Friends standing by his side fell to sudden bursts of machine-gun fire. He watched his youngest brother self-destruct through drug addiction and then find himself at last?paradoxically through employment with a boss of the cocaine cartel?only to die of AIDS. When another brother was abducted, tortured and killed by a death squad, Hector photographed the mutilated body in order to pursue a dangerous quest for justice.

Today, based in California, often working with his frequent collaborator and co-author Diane Lefer, he continues to heal by sharing his experiences and supporting others in their own search for meaning. Whether working in prisons, in youth programs, or training teachers and therapists, or traveling to the West Bank to bring Palestinian activists and Israeli rabbinical students together, he draws on his training as both theatre artist and psychotherapist.

The authors will sign and discuss their new book about Hector's life and his work.
