ARC is pleased to welcome you to this traveling exhibit, a collaboration of over 40 U.S.  
and International artists who have generously donated their work to the cause of ending  
the war in Afghanistan.    

Windows and Mirrors is a traveling exhibit that provides an opportunity to see ourselves in depictions of the war in Afghanistan through the eyes of artists and children. The exhibit is a collaboration by over 40 artists from around the world, including Afghan children and U.S. students. Forty-five 4-foot by 6-foot panels memorialize Afghan civilian casualties, with each panel uniquely designed by an artist or group of artists. The exhibit also includes images collected from Afghan high school students. These "windows" on a war torn country also are "mirrors" reflecting our identity as a nation at war.  

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization devoted to service, development, and peace programs throughout the world. AFSC's work is based on the belief in the worth of every person, and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice.

AFSC community works to transform conditions and relationships both in the world and in ourselves, which threaten to overwhelm what is precious in human beings. AFSC nurtures the faith that conflicts can be resolved nonviolently, that enmity can be transformed into friendship, strife into cooperation, poverty into well-being, and injustice into dignity and participation. We believe that ultimately goodness can prevail over evil, and oppression in all its many forms can give way.
