Eyes Wide Open II at Open Streets Allston/Brighton
Sunday, October 4, 2026 10:30 AM – 3:00 PM EDT (Setup @ 10 AM)
Location: Brighton Avenue & Harvard Ave
Join us at Boston Open Streets on October 4th for a special presentation of Eyes Wide Open II: The Human Cost of War. In this installation, we are planning to create postcards from Minab Children’s drawings. These postcards will be addressed to our Members of Congress and visitors to our table will be encouraged to write messages to their elected representatives. We will provide markers and crayons for children that stop by our table to write letters and create drawings to be sent to the surviving children of Minab. See video of the drawings here.
We invite you to sign up to join our team of volunteers to run the table and engage visitors.
Eyes Wide Open II: The Human Cost of War is a collaborative traveling exhibit developed to visualize the human toll of the US-Israeli war on Iran and provide a sacred space for public reflection, mourning, and generating ideas for action to end the war. The original traveling exhibit typically features artifacts of loss, displays of children’s shoes, backpacks, and stuffed animals representing the Iranian schoolchildren killed when U.S. missiles struck their school in Minab, Iran, on February 28, 2026. The combat boots represent U.S. service members who have lost their lives in the war.
