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.

I suppose its fitting that the women in black group is recorded by still photography. All the organisation has ever done is stand around and do nothing.

How very apt

isnt the point that women dont stand still, EVER, for very long. strikes me that the point of the women in black is to attract attention to their cause by doing something unusual.

A national newspaper, I forget which, recently described the Wibbies' as being highly disconcerting. And I am inclined to agree.

We are not used to silence these days, so the sight of anyone staring straight ahead comes across as unsettling. Especially if eye contact results.
