The exhibition of The Beauty and Tragedy of Darfur at Falmouth High School's new gallery space in the theater lobby is going to be a very special event!
View inspiring and breathtaking works of art created by Falmouth student artists representing Darfur’s beauty contrasted with the tragic genocide.
The spectacular Pihcintu Multicultural Chorus, directed by Con Fullam, who were recently featured on the Today Show, will be lending their voices to this occasion. We are also delighted to have the Malika Sudanese dancers performing. Sudanese food will be available to sample.
Artwork, books, and other merchandise will be available for sale to support United to End Genocide and The Fur Cultural Revival. Pihcintu CDs will also be available for sale.
El- Fadel Arbab, lecturer, a survivor of the genocide in Darfur, and friend to many Falmouth students met with the students to share his story and educate them about life in Darfur and the genocide. It was from those meetings and further research on the students’ part that the art was inspired and created.
We are also delighted to announce that a book about El Fadel Arbab's life, My Grandfather Said Climb a Tree and Look for the Light will be released this April. His first book signing will be at this event. The book price is $20.00.
This event is free, however donations will be gratefully received to benefit United to End Genocide and the Fur Cultural Revival. Go to http://www.falmouthschools.org/File/Darfur_invite.jpg
