FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University

"Hundreds of thousands of shoes look like history. One small sole in wet earth looks like rubbish.” In a recent Boston Globe essay, poet and Yale Artist-in-Residence Grzegorz Kwiatkowski reflects on what it means to preserve, recognize, and bear witness to fragments of history. Next Wednesday, September 16, Kwiatkowski joins Dr. David Mills for “Bearing Witness: Children, Health, and Human Rights in the Face of Violence,” moderated by FXB Center Director of Research Professor Jacqueline Bhabha.
