WHO IS REAL?
REAL Exhibition Development, is an
NGO founded in 2007 that aims to "develop exhibitions and other
visual forms of communication, that promote understanding and peace
between peoples". We are working closely with the International
Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global Responsibility
(INES), Mayors for Peace and the International Peace Bureau (IPB)
Geneva, on a number of important exhibitions focused on disarmament
and sustainable development .www.realexpo.org
This includes a major
photographic exhibition entitled
'In Security , The Nuclear
Dilemma',
which was inaugurated recently at the
International Red Cross
and Red Crescent Museum, Geneva.
www.micr.org
This exhibition looks at the
history of nuclear technology, from the discovery of
radioactivity in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, to the present day
proliferation and energy crisis. Curated by Gabriel Bauret, a
highly respected photographic curator (European House of
Photography) the exhibition brings together major bodies of work
from international photographers, as well as a 10 minute film
entitled 'The Scientific Journey'. Very importantly educational
tools have been developed by Dr.Kathleen Sullivan, a disarmament
educator with the United Nations, that teachers may use freely
within the classroom.
CONTENTS/SIZE:
The exhibition consists of 76
framed images, a DVD and full caption information, a diagram
showing the Nuclear Cycle, a selection of the world's press and
a dedicated internet site with free materials (and images) for
schools and is delivered with a complete scenographic plan for
the 4 different sections. 1) The Scientific Journey 2) Truth and
Consequences 3) Precautions 4) Connections. All this requires at
least 300sqr meters of space.
DATES:
Following its presentation in
Switzerland, the exhibition will be travel on to the Gernika
Peace Museum, Spain, a member of the International Peace Museum
Network, and the World Haus of Culture (Haus der Kulturen der
Welt) , Berlin in 2009. We would very must like to see this
exhibition travel to Great Britain in late 2009 / early 2010.
With a presentation period of 2 - 4 months, we would hope to be
able to exhibit in 4 - 5 cities: London, Coventry, Manchester,
Leeds, Belfast (Derry) and Edinburgh are all possible locations.
