Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Solidarity Images of Life on the Axis of Evil & Beyond. 1945 to the present “I heard this piece on CBC radio one day, about The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. They were talking to kids, students at an event to celebrate the day. When the reporter asked this little boy what he had learned he said - ‘I learned everybody’s the same’ - I freaked out! That’s our answer to not being racist, but we’re not the same. We’re different and that’s to be celebrated.” That was the spark that began to ignite the idea of this photography exhibit. It came from Andrea Puszcar, spreading first to Laura MacKay and Andrea Ritchie (the 3 curators of the event). It now involves the work of 30 people, artists and others, and can be seen in four venues, with more on the way. IN SOLIDARITY is an exhibition of photographs that portray everyday life in the 23 countries that share the common experience of being bombed by the United States since the end of World War II. The goal of the show is to create a sense of solidarity amongst people who feel that the US war on Iraq is unjust. At the same time the show confronts past acts of US aggression in countries around the world. It shows a truer portrait of life in these countries. These are real people, real places, real homes, not just glorified images of war on TV that we don’t want to pay attention to anymore, or can’t bear to face. Pictures are of family, friends, community events, scenery, workplace, scenery, celebrations, etc. Images of EVERYDAY LIFE. The city-wide show is now open at: The Khyber Centre for the Arts (Staircase Gallery & Frame Gallery) The Bella Muse Bob & Lori’s Food Emporium Venus Envy We’ll be adding more venues as the show continues. Opening celebration & reception Saturday, May 10th 7 – 9pm at Bella Muse (2530 Agricola St.) The show will be in place until June 5th, and we are still accepting submissions.
