SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception for "How We Rebuild"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pick Museum of Anthropology for the opening reception of the exhibition “How We Rebuild.” Opening remarks will begin at 4:30 p.m. \nAfter conflicts have ended\, what does it take to recover the heartbeat of humanity? This penetrating and transformative photography exhibition draws from 12 years of work created by grant winners and finalists from The Aftermath Project\, a nonprofit organization committed to telling the other half of war stories\, after the conflicts have ended—what it takes for individuals to rebuild destroyed lives and homes\, to restore civil societies and to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace. This exhibition is a program of ExhibitsUSA\, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance and The National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage credit: Sara Terry\, “Goldfish for sale…” \, Capljina\, Bosnia\, March 30\, 2004; digital print on aluminum\, 14 7/16 x 22 inches; Courtesy of the artist.
