Oxford Group ‘Network of Oxford Women for Justice and Peace’ have organised an exhibition of photographs showing women from peace groups in Israel, Canada, USA, Serbia, Germany and the UK.

The exhibition will take place at Fusion Arts, in East Oxford, from the 4th-20th August, and is aimed at showing the diversity of the global ‘Women In Black’ movement, which holds vigils in more than 60 countries world-wide to promote peaceful solutions to conflict.

The photographs are accompanied by texts written and sent in by the women, explaining why are part of the movement. The exhibition is timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and with the global Women in Black conference in Jerusalem this August.

Local women are also taking part in the exhibition, and will be there to celebrate its opening on Thursday 4th August from 6-8pm. All are welcome to join us.
