African Connections for an
afternoon of cinema for the
conscientious at the
Dayton International Peace Museum.
Date: July 25, 2009
Time: 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Location: Dayton
International Peace Museum (Peace
Hall, behind main building)
208 W.
Monument Ave. Dayton, Ohio 45402
Film:
The Other Europe is a penetrating study of the economics
and politics behind the immigration
debate. The film provides a
cross-section of the immigrant
experience, in Spain, Germany, and
England. It argues that the West is
sending a contradictory message to
immigrants: the economic system
indicates there are plenty of jobs that
will pay more than could ever be earned
at home; but the political systems warn
we don’t want you.
Format: After a brief introduction of the film,
it will be viewed followed by dialogue
Thank You,

Gallery Opening Exhibition" Know Justice
Know Peace "
Sept 4th through Oct 12th
an Exhibition of
Paintings by Max Ginsburg
Max Ginsburg
His work is suffused with the energy of
the city and it’s people: its vendors, its protestors, its
athletes, and musicians. The power of his work stems from both
his belief in the immediacy of a shared, realistic viewpoint and
his strong belief in humanism. His work explores issues of
class, race, and gender and in recent years has gone on to
examine more subtle relationships within society, such as the
way we care for our elderly, our young, and in the wake of 9/11,
notions of patriotism.
*(from
his bio.)

Bosnia Revisited Fall 2008
Horn’s exhibit, a
combination of photographs and text panels from his book of the
same name, was developed with the support of the Religion,
Conflict, and Peacebuilding Initiative at Emory University in
Atlanta, Georgia. The exhibition and accompanying book grew out
of retracing the route he took through that country in 1970. He
was able to find places and people he had photographed 33 years
earlier, now the survivors of a devastating war, rebuilding
their lives and their country.

IMAGES OF
PEACE
As part of the “Season for
Nonviolence”, January 30 – April 4, 2006, the
Peace
Museum
will display images of peace on four 12’ X 25’ billboards in the
Dayton
area. The billboards, which go up February 15th, will display
messages of nonviolence from famous peace advocates
Dr. Martin L. King
Jr.,
Mother
Teresa,
Gandhi, and
Albert
Einstein. They will give citizens a
moment to reflect on something other than the violent images they face
every day, a different way of looking at the world.
Locations
where the “Images of Peace” can be viewed are Keowee & Third,
Ludlow
& 5th, Gettysburg & Cornell, Smithville north of SR35.
In conjunction with this effort, Key Ads has graciously
agreed to donate billboard space for a student contest in the Dayton City
Schools. Students will be asked to create an artwork/advertisement that
promotes peace and/or nonviolence. The winning entry will be displayed on
a city billboard for one month. Other entries will be shown in an
exposition at the
Peace
Museum
, at a date to be set.
SPIRITUAL
PATHS TO PEACE
Speakers from various religions speak about peace.

Gift for the Library
The Museum Library received a wonderful gift of over 500 peace books from
Dr. Charles Chatfield of
Wittenberg
University
. We have an excellent selection of books, videos and audio products
related to peace, nonviolence, global issues and more. Items can be
borrowed for a two week period with proper identification. Eventually our
bibliography will be posted on our web site.
