Art Against Genocide @ CMU
Art Against Genocide is debuting November 9th at 8pm at Carnegie Mellon University’s The Frame art gallery!
Art Against Genocide is an ongoing art collaboration in which individual artists use everything from visual to written to musical arts to explore the ideas surrounding genocide and genocide-like actions. Most people know about the genocide in Darfur, but how many imagine what it would be like to live through genocide? Moreover, genocide-like events are happening in Zimbabwe, Iraq, North Korea, China, and Burma too. The art gives a background on the different situations, promotes hope of reconciliation, and suggests what normal people can do by showing what is being done already.
Dinner will be provided opening night by the Neville Co-op. Opening night will feature live performances by For Greater Consciousness, Annika Rosenvinge, Adam Rauf, and Robert Wallace, as well as readings of written works. Recordings will be made and played back on other days. Video, visual arts and written pieces will also be present. The show will close November 12th at 5pm. Future displays are pending.
The Frame is located at the corner of Forbes Ave and Margaret Morrison St in Pittsburgh, PA.

This looks this is going to be an event I will have to check out. Music, food, and art…I don’t think I could ask for anything more. If I am allowed to take pictures I will and should post them soon after. I am still waiting on some pictures from Halloween event but they should be up soon too.

I’d go to this as well, if I didn’t have to work.
