What's the power of children's art depicting trauma?

What's the power of children's art depicting trauma? And how does it affect those who see it? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the art exhibit "A Child's View from Gaza," which was cancelled two weeks before it was set to open at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland. The Museum said the images were too graphic, but local Jewish groups boasted to media outlets that they forced the museum board to make the decision. Does the museum have a responsibility to show an exhibit like this? And what's the power of art? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with me, Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Ziad Abbas, associate director of the Middle East Children's Alliance

Susan Greene, social art practitioner, educator and clinical psychologist
