    E U R O P E ALBANIA From 27 May to 22 June, UNHCR organised an exhibition of paintings titled "Colours of Albania in the World" at the Albanian Gallery of Arts. The exhibition brought home 23 Albanian artists living and working abroad. Some are refugees from the previous regime, others are migrants, but all have been living abroad for many years. The artwork reflects their nostalgia for their home country, and artists Ibrahim Kodra and Omer Kaleshi have been called symbols of Albanian culture. The exhibition focused on respect for migrants and refugees, as well as on the positive contributions they can make to host societies. About 600 persons attended the launching ceremony. Media coverage was excellent, including 30 articles and 18 TV and radio mentions during the month of the exhibition. About USD 20,000 were raised through local fundraising efforts to cover the expenses of the event. The exhibition was organised in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the National Gallery of Arts, under the auspices of the Albanian Prime Minister. ARMENIA UNHCR participated in the morning TV programme on Armenian national TV. During the programme, a UNHCR official answered questions related to housing projects and the local integration of refugees. In addition, some Armenian TV stations broadcast the World Refugee Day TV spot for 15 days. An exhibition-sale of refugees' art work was also organised to show that the most appropriate durable solution for ethnic Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan is local integration in Armenia. The exhibition was appreciated; some of the refugees were asked to make some crafts for souvenir shops.

  • Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants
    PRESS RELEASE Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – May 29, 2016 Art Jameel and The Crossway Foundation are pleased to announce an exciting conclusion to Jameel Journey to Turkey, the latest in a series of collaborative initiatives to give young artists with ties to the Gulf region the opportunity to work and travel across international borders. An exhibition of work by the six young photographers from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain who set out on an eleven-day trip around Turkey from May 12 to 23, is now on display at Ka Atolyesi in Ankara, where the participants have also produced a publication on the subject of this year’s theme, migration. The six participants are the previous winners of Art Jameel Photography Award. Imogen Ware, Managing Director of the Crossway Foundation, which organised Jameel Journey to Turkey, said: “It was an enriching experience for all parties involved. Thinking about photography and Turkey within the framework of migration inspired conversations on many subjects, ranging from the photographer's responsibility in the political and social context of 2016 to the commonalities between the Gulf region and Turkey as crossroads of different cultures.” During their time in Turkey the photographers received a private lecture and portfolio review from conceptual artist and photographer Orhan Cem Çetin, visited the studio of artist- photographer Ali Taptık, heard talks from prominent photographers, artists and curators such as Bikem Ekberzade, Özge Ersoy, Zeynep Beler, Beril Gür, and Sevim Sancaktar at cultural institutions including Istanbul Modern and Collector Space, and explored and photographed Istanbul’s picturesque Princes’ Islands with members of Geniş Açı Project Office (GAPO) and NAR Photos.

The 5th International Çanakkale Biennial September 24–November 6, 2016 canakkalebienali.com Facebook / Twitter CABININ - Çanakkale Biennial Initiative MAHAL Fevzipasa Mahallesi, Çay Kenarı Sokak, No: 159 Merkez ÇANAKKALE Related More https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/48970/the-5th-international-anakkale-biennial/ 1/5 11/19/2019 The 5th International Çanakkale Biennial - Announcements - e-flux Works by 40 internationally celebrated artists are to be included in the 5th edition of The International Çanakkale Biennial, running from September 24 to November 6, 2016. The new and previously exhibited artworks on display will explore the theme of “Homeland” (Anavatan, Heimat, Patria), chosen by a curatorial team of Beral Madra, Deniz Erbaş and Seyhan Boztepe. The Turkish city of Çanakkale is located on the Dardanelles Strait, just north of the epicentre of the European refugee crisis in the Aegean Sea, and the curators have chosen to focus on a crucial concept behind the constant succession of global migrations and flows of refugees and exiles: the imagery and visions of the idea of homeland, which are bound to 20th-century nationalism and its after-effects. Discussing the theme of this year’s Biennial, curator Beral Madra said: “The 5th International Çanakkale Biennial will be a perfect opportunity for us to face and challenge global human movement with the universal language of contemporary art and thus have a civil commitment and positioning towards the ongoing tragedy. The Biennial will try to raise questions about the sustainability of ideas of national and ethnic identity in a world whose borders are becoming increasingly accidental and penetrable.

  • Cja Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 OUR MISSION The Center for Justice and Accountability is an international human rights organization dedicated to deterring torture and other severe human rights abuses around the world and advancing the rights of survivors to seek truth, justice, and redress. CJA uses litigation to hold perpetrators individually accountable for human rights abuses, develop human rights law, and advance the rule of law in countries transitioning from periods of abuse. 1 LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND CHAIR It is with great pleasure that we present you with this report of our July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 activities. CJA’s mission to end impunity has taken root in the United States and spread its wings around the world. This year, we served 194 clients, including 176 torture survivors and relatives of people who were tortured or disappeared. Our clients come from a total of 21 countries. We increased our docket of high profile human rights cases and investigations, while expanding our transitional justice efforts in Argentina, Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and Somaliland. Pamela Merchant From Central America, to the Horn of Africa and Cambodia, our accountability work Executive Director has taken wing internationally. This year, CJA assumed a leadership role in representing survivors as civil parties in the Khmer Rouge trials before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). After successfully appealing a ruling that denied civil party status to eleven of our clients, we now represent 45 survivors from the Cambodian diaspora community in the United States. CJA is taking the lead among the civil party lawyers on command responsibility, the military and administrative command structure of the Khmer rouge, the forced evacuation of Phnom Penh in April 1975, and reparations.
