DARFUR | DARFUR

DARFUR|DARFUR is a digitally projected exhibition of images by internationally acclaimed photojournalists depicting life in the war-torn region of Darfur where at least 400,000 people have been killed and more than two million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes since the genocide began in 2003. The exhibition has been traveling the United States to raise awareness of Darfur’s multi-cultural population and the violence and mass killings that have devastated the region. Featured speakers include John Prendergast, senior policy analyst with the International Crisis Group who is currently co-authoring Not on our Watch with actor Don Cheadle, and Brian Steidle, a former U.S. Marine and the subject of The Devil Came on Horseback, a documentary exposing the violence and tragedy of the genocide of Darfur that premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.  A special benefit reception follows the exhibition. Proceeds will be used to assist non-governmental humanitarian organizations providing on-the-ground medical and social care in and around Darfur.

Tickets for the exhibition and benefit reception are available through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787).
