On Thursday, March 8, 2007, from 6 PM to 8:30 PM, Craig Scott Gallery presents the opening of “Khartoum,” paintings and mixed-media installation work by Amir Shingray. All are welcome; there is no admission charge to the opening.
An education and awareness event dedicated to the Darfur crisis immediately follows, organized in association with MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES (MSF), at The Berkeley Church (315 Queen East at Berkeley, one block north of Craig Scott Gallery). Doors open at 8:30 PM; to cover costs, there is an admission charge of $10 at the door. Special guests are Sudanese musical sensation Waleed Abdulhamid Kush, who orchestrates an evening of musical harmony in diversity, and James Orbinski, international President of MSF from 1998 to 2000 (and the deliverer of MSF's Nobel Peace Prize speech), who speaks on his analysis of the crisis in Darfur.
