==Ammunition (reloaded), Art Show, Nov 3rd-15th, 11am-5pm, St. Margarets Art Gallery==
 
-
Following on from last years  popular anti war exhibition another is to be held again in Norwich. 
 
-
 
-
Anti war events can never be seen as "successful", i.e. wars carry on regardless.
 
-
However moments of reflection in the midst of our normal day-to-day-ness  are certainly not a bad thing. 
 
-
Moments of clarity  need nurturing and art can  help make that happen.
 
-
 
-
The show entitled AMMUNITION appeals to a broad cross section with work from agitprop to cool; from fine art to cartoon.
 
-
In short something for everyone, well anyone who hopes and believes that peace is somehow possible, no matter how difficult to find.
 
-
 
-
The show includes photomontage artist Peter Kennard with prints fresh from his London exhibition; international Pop artist and patron of Norwich Fringe Festival Colin Self; a print from the Lebanon series by John Kiki; and dancer and vocalist Samia Malik whose work explores race, language,politics, roots and religion.

Occupation 101 is the  winner  of  8  film  festival  awards.

historical root causes  of  the  Israeli-Palestinian  conflict.  Unlike  any
 
-
other film produced on the conflict Occupation 101 presents a  comprehensive
 
-
analysis of the facts and hidden  truths  surrounding  the  controversy  and
 
-
dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

-
The film lasts  90 minutes and will be followed by a discussion led by members of Norwich Stop the War Coalition. All welcome!
