Through My Eyes: Children's Drawings from Conflict Zones
Exhibition, Chelsea Art Museum, 556 West 22nd St, New York City July 14-30 2005
In July, the group hosted an exhibition of children's drawings from a variety of conflict areas including Uganda, Chechnya, Sudan, Iraq, Kosovo and Darfur.
The aim of the event was to draw attention to the effect of war, conflict and violence on children - but from the perspective of the children. To see a selection of the pictures and get information about where they're from, click
