boots

This powerful art exhibit featured 393 pairs of boots honoring the soldiers from California killed in Iraq, together with 100 shoes in memory of Iraqis killed in the conflict. The “Boots on the Ground, Shoes on the Ground” exhibit at UCSF is meant to provide a space for reflection on the profound losses and sacrifices that have already occurred, and continue to occur, in Iraq.

The IAG brings the boot exhibit to UCSF as part of a widely acclaimed national exhibit called
“Eyes Wide Open,” sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). The AFSC’s
mission is to support the dignity and worth of every individual, the sanctity of human life and humanity’s collective responsibility to promote peace.
