Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College

Show title: Artifacts of War: Art and Politics in a Globalized World

Curator: Zubeda Jalalzai

Oct. 4-25 2002.

This exhibition, combining Afghan "war rugs" from the collection of Kevin Sudeith with the photographs of Luke Powell's Afghan Folio, anchors the series of lectures, films, and events for the series, a multi-disciplinary initiative from the office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

These pieces from Afghanistan serve as prisms for the series, which focus on "globalization": the breakdown of national boundaries, the permeability of supposedly sound borders, and the general compression of both time and space in a new world driven by digital information and expansive economic growth and change.

The case of Afghanistan in contemporary politics as well as the world's involvement in its history before and after Sept. 11 necessitates an attention to global movements of people, values, products and material. The various facets of the program are presented with a view to expand that awareness, to promote dialogue, and to better understand the tangible and philosophical implications of this new dynamic.



The exhibit opening is at 4 p.m. Oct. 3. A lecture by photographer Luke Powell follows.
