London Campaign Against the Arms Trade at the Fine Art Fair

London CAAT | 05.06.2010 17:03 | Anti-militarism

London CAAT went to the Fine Art Fair to raise awareness of their links to the arms trade







London Campaign Against Arms Trade indulged their artistic side at Olympia today with a demonstration against the International Fine Arts Fair’s links with the arms trade. The owners of the Fair, Clarion Events, brought the DSEi arms fair in May 2008 and London CAAT has been outside events organised by Clarion since then. Over the course of the two hour demo a small painting and a larger banner were produced, both of which caught the attention of passersby. Leaflets were handed out exposing the links between Clarion and DSEi - a number of members of the public were shocked and horrified to learn of this link. Indeed a couple of them said they would take further action.

Can't wait for DSEi 2011 - so many fantastic networking opportunities with military dictatorships in shiny uniforms from around the world:
