MONTREAL/October 23, 2007—
Living With Landmines, an exhibit of 16 life-size portraits of Cambodian children who have suffered the effects of land mines, begins a two week run at Concordia University. The exhibit will be shown from October 22 to November 2 in the atrium of the J.W. McConnell Building (1400 de Maisonneuve W.)
Visiting Concordia as part of a cross-country, 15-university tour, Living With Landmines was photographed by Toronto-based V. Tony Hauser. Hauser traveled to Siem Reap, Cambodia in May 2006 to document 16 children who are currently living at the Cambodia Land Mine Museum. Along with providing a dormitory and a school for children injured by land mines, the museum also acts as an education centre for visitors.
The objective of the exhibit is to educate visitors, and confront them with the devastating consequences that land mines have on the world. One-third of the world’s nations are currently affected by land mines.
For more information on the exhibit, or to schedule an interview V. Tony Hauser, please contact (416) 862-7082 or email hauser@interlog.com.
