Exhibition: DR SEUSS WANTS YOU!
Shows an unexpected and unknown Dr. Seuss. Teaching us how to think during World War II, he put in American faces issues that we were ignoring: our own isolationism, racism, anti-Semitism, and willingness to appease. Typical Seuss characters teach us about courage to care and to act in his thought-provoking cartoons. Full of lessons for the entire family.

Exhibition: THE SMALLEST WITNESS: THE CRISIS IN DARFUR THROUGH CHILDREN’S EYES
Human Rights Watch researchers gave children pens and crayons to draw while their families were being interviewed. Without any instructions or guidance, the children began to draw scenes from their experiences: the attacks by the “Janjaweed’, the bombings by Sudanese government forces, the shootings, the rapes, the burning of entire villages, and their flight to Chad. The children insisted that the researchers take their drawings with them in the hope that the rest of the world could see their story – the indelible effect of a manmade crisis on the young victims.
