Opening of the photographic exhibition 'Nuclear Dilemma', MICR, Geneva

[Geneva, 27 Feb. & 27 Jul. 2008].
IPB was well represented at the opening of the photographic exhibition 'In-Security: the Nuclear Dilemma', which opened at the Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (MICR) in Geneva on Wednesday Feb. 27.

Since IPB has supported the development of this project from the beginning, Colin Archer was asked to speak at the press conference in the morning, and Ashley Woods, President of the REAL Exhibition Development association, spoke at the evening reception. Participants included the Swiss Ambassador, the Museum Director, and the Mayors for Peace Campaign Manager, WFUNA staff, and local Women for Peace and disarmament/nuclear energy activists.

Responses to the exhibition have been very positive. The content includes a slide-film about the history of radiation and nuclear energy/weapons; 120 images from 10 series of photos by renowned photographers on themes such as Hiroshima-Nagasaki,

Chernobyl, the contemporary nuclear industry, the US weapons programme; and wall displays of the nuclear chain and media representation of the issue. The pedagogical programme includes visits by youth groups, workshops in local schools, and two Round Tables.

A press pack and CD of photos are available on request. The project is supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, UK and several international peace and disarmament organisations.

The exhibition will be continuing until July 27 and will be available during the NPT PrepComm (April 28-May 9) and for various groups of visitors.

It will later travel to the Gernika Peace Museum and the Berlin World House of Culture, and beyond. If you are interested in helping bringing this exhibit to your region, contact REAL.
