Upcoming Events
AWP / NOW: The Sharp Edge of Peace — Exhibition, Film & Panel at Texas A&M
Join Art Works Projects at Texas A&M University at the Texas Symposium on Women, Peace, and Security for an excerpt film screening of The Sharp Edge of Peace (MIRA Studios/Roya Film House; directed by Roya Sadat and produced by Leslie Thomas), the exhibition Women Between Peace and War: Afghanistan, and a post-screening conversation on Afghan women’s rights, gender justice, peacebuilding, and international accountability.
AWP / NOW: Environmental Harm as an International Crime
Environmental destruction may occur in one place, but its consequences do not stay neatly within borders. AWP / NOW: Environmental Harm as an International Crime brings together documentary photographers, climate advocates, and international justice practitioners to explore when serious environmental harm can become a matter of criminal accountability—and what recognizing ecocide could add. Beginning with the work of AWP Emerging Lens Fellows Oyewole Lawal and Edwin Ndeke, the conversation moves from witness to law, responsibility, and action.
AWP / NOW: The Sharp Edge of Peace: Global Struggle and Local Action for Women’s Rights in Afghanistan
Twenty-five years after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan and five years since the Taliban returned to power, an afternoon of visual storytelling, film, and conversation centering the leadership and rights of Afghan women and girls, and the lives of those who made their way to Chicago. Featuring the Women Between Peace and War: Afghanistan exhibition, an excerpt from Roya Sadat’s The Sharp Edge of Peace, and discussions connecting global struggle with local action.
