This is to help fund the anti war photography exhibition,'Images of Resistance -inside and outside of Iraq.

We received no help at all from the Irish Arts Council, (yet they manage to fund circus's that ill treat animals and audiences). We had to pare back the costs just to pay for printing and framing the images, with some additional costs for flyers, posters and pr etc.
Any photographers travelling to New York for the exhibition opening are doing so at their own expense.
The costs to stage the work in New York will be at least €2,500. To date we have €417 in the bank account. If you can help out in any way with sponsorship, names of potential sponsors or a donation, we would be very grateful. A detailed list of costs can be had on request.

Images of Resistance -inside and outside of Iraq', is the title of an anti war photography exhibition that will be shown in the lead up to the US presidential election from October 1st - November 4th 2008, in the Gallery 1199, Manhattan, New York. This gallery is owned by the SE1199 trade union which represents over a million service and health workers (the majority being immigrants or descendants of immigrants) in the USA. Recently that union has pledged it's support to Barack Obama for the US presidential election.

The main purposes of the exhibition -through the medium of print and dvd photography with audio commentary- is to help raise consciousness and awareness in the public of the opposition to wars, the plight of the people in war torn countries, the real reasons behind wars, to show some of the collateral damage and the situations soldiers find themselves in.

Some of the 50-70 images under consideration can be seen through the links on the sites below, which includes some powerful and very graphic images (discretion advised) recently taken in Iraq by Zoriah Millar who, because of a simple decision, escaped injury or worse near a suicide bombing on the 26th June.
