The Brush is Mightier: One Man's Mission to Rescue Art from the Taliban

"Join us during Humanities Week for a remarkable gallery, open house and live painting experience. Come and go as time allows. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and immerse yourself in an incredible story of human resilience and the enduring power of art in the face of oppression. Dr. Mohammad Asefi will create two original works as you learn about his dangerous mission to preserve art from destruction by the Taliban. Included are pieces he smuggled out of Afghanistan depicting Afghan life, and some of his latest work inspired by his experiences as a refugee in Arizona."
