After posting yesterday I came upon this talk by Daniel Goleman at the TED blog. I had also read Brian Ulrich's interview with Taj Forer where he asks "Is there room for art as activism?".
When Dr. Goleman sums up and addresses the way to elicit the hard wired empathic response we're all built with I made the connection between Zambia and an exhibit of photographs.
(I opened Preview and find the video very slow to load when embedded. You might be better off just watching in the TED site linked above where it runs immediately.)

Interesting talk. I've heard that people that yawn easily in the presence of another person yawning are more compassionate.
