Windows and Mirrors Exhibit and Events

TRAVELING EXHIBIT COMING TO GOUCHER! -- Windows and Mirrors: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan

 

Wednesday, February 15 – Wednesday, February 22, Lenrow Gallery, 4^th Floor, Athenaeum

 

The war in Afghanistan is now the longest in U.S. history, yet for many of us it has been rendered largely invisible. Windows and Mirrors: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan is an opening and an invitation to reflect upon the impact of this war on a civilian population caught in the crossfire.   This exhibit of murals by Afghan and American artists and students memorializing Afghan civilian deaths and the daily reality of life in Afghanistan is on loan from the American Friends Service Committee.
