WINDOWS AND MIRRORS: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan

is a traveling exhibit that makes a powerful statement on a nearly invisible reality.  The 28 panels created by international and US artists and 20 drawings by Afghan students help us imagine the experience of Afghan civilians – from death and destruction to hopes for peace. www.windowsandmirrors.org
