Women’s Windows Interview 11/30/08

Producer/Host: Magdalen

Topic: Terry Tempest Williams’ new book: Finding Beauty in a Broken World
How has art, the creation of beautiful objects, helped one Rwandan community to recover from the Rwandan Genocide? How does art imitate life in the concept of “mosaic”? How does observing others, keeping one’s eyes open, affect one’s own reality?

Guest: Terry Tempest Williams
