Last week’s Supreme Court decision that upheld the Congressional ban on “partial-birth abortion” was the focus of an unconventional protest at Harvard Law School yesterday, when students from a law seminar carried a black cardboard coffin, symbolizing the decision in that case, through the rain from Langdell Hall to the Charles River.

But instead of painting or sculpture, they chose a less orthodox medium: cardboard. In a week-long series of events in the Center for Government and International Studies sponsored by the Cultural Agents Initiative, a Harvard-based group promoting social change through art in developing countries, Barilaro and Saldarriaga discussed how they turned trash into publishing houses, and how their projects...
