[Peace-discuss] upcoming event

[Peter Rohloff]

Howdy all, I'm organizing this event. The folks could be in town 
earlier in the day for 'other' events--radio interviews, talks, that 
sort of thing. Ideas anyone? I don't have much time these days, and if 
anyone wants to help organize some additional things I would appreciate 
the help. Flyer forthcoming later this week.

Cosponsors so far are: AWARE, Channing-Murray, the Forum on 
Nonviolence,  Justice for Palestine, Students for Palestine, Worldwide 
Human Rights Organization, Egyptian American Students Association, and 
Penguin Revolution.


On Tuesday, May 11, from 7-9 pm, the Balata Refugee Camp installation 
will be at the Channing Murray Foundation.
The Balata Refugee Camp is one of the most hardhit communities in the 
West Bank, Palestine. Refugees from the 1948 expulsion, the over 30,000 
residents are crammed into a single suffocating square kilometre. The 
Balata Refugee Camp installation is composed of pictures, sound, 
childrens art, photos, film, stories and video and audio interviews. 
The content is determined by the people of the camp, and is intended to 
both represent life there and bring a message to people in the 'West'. 
The installation will be coming on tour around the US, UK and Sweden, 
aiming to raise awareness about the complex and desperate situation in 
the refugee camps, spur viewers into action and build links between 
people and organisations in Balata camp and others outside. The 
installation is organized by activists from the International 
Solidarity Movement, which is a grass-roots, Palestinian-led nonviolent 
movement devoted to raising international awareness about the plight of 
the Palestinian people, will be at the Channing Murray Foundation.
