The display is on at the A. Wilfrid Johns Gallery from Nov. 6 through Dec. 4, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Admission is free, donations accepted. About the exhibition: A Child’s View from Gaza, will feature images of 20 drawings by children in Gaza from 5 to 14 years of age, created during the course of art therapy. The exhibition reflects the children’s perceptions of the Israeli offensive
against Gaza, which took place from December 27, 2008 to January 17, 2009. Each drawing is unique in its perspective and details. The drawings reveal that Gaza’s children, despite their tender ages, are acutely aware of the politics of their situation.
