Brought to you by the American Friends Service Committee.

Eyes Wide Open'!
"Beyond Fear - Towards Hope: An Exhibition of the Iraq War"

The Eyes Wide Open exhibition is a multimedia,multisensory journey through the words, images and sounds of the Iraq war. Visitors move through a vivid memorial to the war's soldier and civilian victims, a searing exposure of the statements told to the U.S. public to justify the war, a compelling outline of what the war is costing us at home, and finally to an interactive, easy way to conribute their voices to changing our country's course toward peace.

In this critical time, Eyes Wide Open speaks directly to our hearts and minds, shattering the claim that the war has made America safer and challenging us to confront our fears and let our dreams, not our nightmares, shape our collective future.
