Artists in Brest stage show of solidarity with occupied Iraq
Several independent young artists in Brest staged a show of solidarity with "the occupied people of Iraq" at the Culture Palace of the microrayon Vulka on April 12.
The event included displays of ceramics by Yevgeny Zhminko, and photographs shot by Andrei Nekrasov during his trip to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
Poet Vladimir Glazov read ten verses about for love, which he called the natural longing for life whereas war is the natural longing for death.
Free Theater artists staged a show entitled "20,000,000" condemning war as evil done for money. The artists decorated the palace for the event. They posted the large sign, "Long Live Freedom and Justice!" on the front of the building, and news reports from Iraq on the walls.
