Since 1989, Visual Artists Guild's
"Art & Democracy" series, an exhibit of varied
media, representing the struggle for democracy, justice and human
rights, has created a space for the world to celebrate freedom of
expression. For our fifth show with the theme of Art
& Democracy on the 25th Anniversary of the
Tiananmen Square Massacre and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, we have
selected 37 artists from an unprecedented number of entries from
all over the world. Participating artists represent countries from
the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Art works of
different media include: paintings, sculptures, photographs,
installations and video. Our artists' concerns include: social
equality; human rights and civil liberties; the violence of war;
history in retrospect; female empowerment and environmental
conservation. VENUE : BUILDING BRIDGES ART FOUNDATION GALLERY
