WHEN: 6/30/09 - 7/11/09 5:00pm - 8:00pm
WHERE: Second Presbyterian Church 96th and Central Park West, Manhattan, New York City
DETAILS: The majority of the roughly 20 paintings are by Iraqi refugees who studied art and gained professional recognition in their homeland until violence forced them to flee across the desert to Syria. They are now painting as refugees in Damascus.
Dates: June 20 - July 11, Closed July 4
Hours: Tues - Fri 5 – 9 pm, Saturdays 10 – 8
Place: Second Presbyterian Church, 96th Street at Central Park West, NYC
Mel Lehman, Director of Common Humanity who traveled to Damascus to obtain the paintings, said, “Visitors to this exhibit will get a rare chance to see something of the heart and soul of several of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Syria who have been largely forgotten by us. This exhibit presents a unique opportunity to see Middle East artists who were influenced both by their study of modern Western art in school and also by the U.S. invasion of their homeland.”
COST: Free; paintings are for sale

(between Bond St. & Nevins St.)

DETAILS: On July 4, hundreds of people from across the United States will depart New York for Egypt, where they will load trucks with millions of dollars worth of medical supplies and drive it to the besieged people of Gaza. While our government arms the Israeli war machine with weapons of mass destruction to murder the people of Palestine, we will bring humanitarian aid and a challenge to U.S. support for war, blockade and occupation.
