Toy photographer Brian McCarty comes to the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art on Oct. 6 to share insight on his ongoing project, WAR-TOYS. The artist has visited countries like Syria, Iraq, and Israel since 2011, allowing kids to art-direct his photographs of found toys. The scenes emulate the atrocities witnessed by the children and their fears. At times, the backdrops for these photos are the actual sites of the events described. A piece by McCarty appeared on the first issue of Hi-Fructose Magazine.
