Art vs War: AFSC's Windows and Mirrors Exhibit

REFLECTIONS ON THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

Windows and Mirrors: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan is a traveling mural exhibit that makes a powerful statement on a nearly invisible reality. The exhibit consists of more than 45 large scale paintings by artists from all over the country that memorialize Afghan civlian casualties. The exhibit also includes images collected from Afghan high school students by Dr. Zahir Wahab, a professor at Lewis and Clark College who asked young Afghans to draw images from their daily reality. The "windows" they have created to help us feel the impact on the Afghan people, become "mirrors" reflecting our own identity as citizens of a nation at war -- and call us to act.
