MIA KIRSHNER
discusses her print documentary of four humanitarian crises I Live Here co-sponsored by Amnesty International
Harvard Book Store and Amnesty Internatioal are pleased to welcome MIA KIRSHNER for a discussion of I Live Here, a print documentary of humanitarian crises in four corners of the world: war in Chechnya, ethnic cleansing in Burma, globalization in Mexico, and AIDS in Malawi. Told through journals, stories, images, and graphic novellas, the voices we encounter in I Live Here are those of displaced women and children, in their own words or in stories told in text and images by noted writers and artists. I Live Here was brought vividly to life in collaboration with co-authors J.B. MacKinnon, Paul Shoebridge, and Michael Simons, and with featured works by artists Joe Sacco, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Phoebe Gloeckner, Chris Abani, Karen Connelly, Kamel Khelif, and many others. Amnesty International's Northeast Regional Director Joshua Rubenstein will introduce the evening.
