Disappeared in America

VISIBLE, a collective of Muslim and other Artist-Activists, premiered
their exhibition DISAPPEARED IN AMERICA at the Queens Museum of Art.
DISAPPEARED is a walk-through installation that uses a film trilogy,
soundscapes, photos, lightboxes, and the audience's interactions to
humanize the faces of "disappeared" Muslims.
The exhibition is on view at Queens Museum of Art until June 5, 2005.
Directions:  http://www.disappearedinamerica.org/about/
The exhibition is also a traveling, multimedia lecture that has been
shown in Stockholm, Helsinki at Pixelache Electronic Arts Conference.
