Why We Record includes a collection of Visualizing Palestine’s visuals, AFSC’s archival photos, and excerpts from published stories on the themes of fragmentation, displacement, return, and future visioning. The exhibit is family-friendly, and despite the inclusion of difficult material, it is appropriate for all ages.
Attending this exhibit with your community organization, students, family, friends, and/or neighbors is an excellent opportunity for learning, teaching, and increased understanding.
