Toby Millman and students, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 2011 Fifteen students in Toby Millman's course, Printmaking for Non Majors at the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan collaborated on the book, Witness Al-Mutanabbi. Students came from academic units throughout the University including Kinesiology, Mathematics, English or Architecture, however one Art & Design graduate student (John Gutoskey) and a Knight-Wallace journalism fellow (Katie Zezima) also participated in this project. Each student focused on a different theme, such as value of free expression, violence as a method of censorship, or the history of Al Mutanabbi Street itself. As a whole, the book provides insight into to the layers of responses to the tragedy that occurred that day.
