September 20 to early December

“Through the Looking Glass: Seeing Iraq from the Other Side”
Viewing at Odegaard Undergraduate Library, University of Washington

View images and listen to the background stories about the powerful and visually stunning photographs captured by four independent journalists working outside the U.S. military embedding program in Iraq since 2003. Photographers Thorne Anderson and Kael Alford will share their experiences witnessing and documenting daily events, the brutalities of this ongoing, deadly war juxtaposed against moments of peaceful reprieve.  The perspectives of these independent journalists is also captured in the book, Unembedded: Four Independent Photojournalists on the War in Iraq, which aims to enhance public awareness of the effects of U.S. policy on Iraqis themselves.  As they attest in their artist’s statement about the exhibit, “This is Iraq as we witnessed it, living and moving among its cities and citizens for months on end.”
