Bringing The War Home

On The Road With Eyes Wide Open

BY AFSC
Eyes Wide Open, the American Friends Service Committee's widely-acclaimed exhibition on the human cost of the Iraq War, features a pair of boots honoring each U.S. military casualty, a field of shoes and a Wall of Remembrance to memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict, and a multimedia display exploring the history, cost and consequences of the war. Since January 2005, this simple exhibit of empty boots and shoes has opened eyes and stirred emotions across the country. This short documentary captures the essence of Eyes Wide Open, a stark reminder of the human cost of the Iraq War.

Windows And Mirrors

Relections On The War In Afghanistan - A Catalog

BY AFSC AND THE GODWIN TERNBACH MUSEUM
Windows and Mirrors is a traveling exhibit of artists and children's depictions of the war in Afghanistan. These "windows" on a war torn country are also "mirrors" reflecting our identity as a nation at war. Active peacemaking involves making known what is hidden and that is what the artists in this exhibition have tried to do. The panels are shown in color and there is an explanation of the image and biography of the Artist who created it - around 38 panels in all.
