Website about the exhibit

This fall, the Berkeley Art Museum will welcome Fernando Botero's Abu Ghraib series - 26 paintings and 30 drawings - to the museum's permanent collection. This is one of the largest gifts ever to an American university collection. This remarkable donation was a direct result of the exhibition of these works organized by CLAS at UC Berkeley in early 2007.

“Now That We Know: Torture, Obama and the Politics of Dirty Hands”

Mark Danner, a UC Berkeley professor of journalism, has covered war, foreign affairs and political violence for two decades. He is the author of Torture and Truth (2004) and, most recently, Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War.

Read Danner's article for the Washington Post, Paradoxes of Torture and Scandal
