Art of Ancient Afghanistan / Guillermo Gomez-Pena

In the second half hour, performance artist and MacArthur Foundation grant recipient Guillermo Gomez-Pena joins us to discuss his latest piece, now showing at Theater Artaud in San Francisco. In the piece, Gomez-Pena uses the human body as a metaphor for the Bush administration's policies toward Iraq and Afghanistan.
