For nearly two weeks the award winning photographers photographed children and their families-- victims of the Israeli incursion on December 27th 2008. The images are extraordinary, they tell of what happened and the damage done, physically and psychologically, but they also tell of a people particularly the children, bright intelligent and full of hope. The exhibition will be as dramatic in its presentation as the images themselves comprising of black and white photographic art works. Included in the exhibition will be original pieces, inspired by the photographic images, from the renowned artist Dia Azzawi. His images will provide a vivid and colourful contrast to the imposing mono chrome images of Aquili, Dawton and McFarlane. The exhibition hopes to define the process in which art can bring understanding to seemingly intractable political conflict as well as to highlight the terrible consequences long and short term of such conflicts. Proceeds from the exhibition will go to Save the Children projects in Gaza particularly its outstanding work with conflict traumatised children. Both Al Madad Foundation and Save the Children will be on hand at exhibitions to answer questions both about the works of art and Save the Children’s projects in Gaza.

Even when people speak the same language, their cultures still play an important role in what they say and how they say it. In fact, the more differences that exist between two people's cultures, the more difficult it can be for them to communicate effectively. This talk by Fahad Al-Sumait will introduce guests to some basic concepts from the field of intercultural communication, which is an area of research dedicated to better understanding the role played by culture in people's interactions. By developing a greater awareness of culture (our own and others) we can find ways to better connect with one another. When: March 1st Where: AWARE Center (click HERE for more contact info & address) Time: 7pm *Via Al-Watan Daily Gulf Road from Haroun Al-Rasheed to 3rd Ring Road, will be closed from midnight.
