Eyes Wide Open An Exhibition on the Human Cost of The Iraq War Comes to Austin September 12, 13 and 14 - 7 AM to 7 PM Auditorium Shores West Eyes Wide Open is a memorial to service members and civilians killed in the Iraq war, and a respectful space for their families and all visitors to reflect on the human cost of war. Eyes Wide Open, the American Friends Service Committee’s widely acclaimed exhibition on the human cost of the Iraq War, returns to Austin on September 12th at Auditorium Shores. When Austin hosted the exhibit in February 2005, this powerful event drew 3000 visitors and every major news station. We expect far more visitors this year. The exhibit features a pair of boots honoring each Texas military casualty, a field of shoes to memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict, and a display exploring the history, cost and consequences of war. We are in great need of volunteers all day on Friday, and Saturday and Sunday evenings. To volunteer you may contact us at eyeswideopeninaustin@gmail.com For information on how to volunteer or donate, visit http://eyeswideopenaustin2008.org To view past Eyes Wide Open Exhibits, visit www.afsc.org/eyes |
