Hosting "Resistance Unarmed"

Hosting the exhibit is a great opportunity for groups wanting to raise awareness about social movements in Latin America or seeking to highlight international efforts of those working towards a sustainable peace. Previous hosts have used the exhibit as a catalyst for on-going speaking events, workshops and educational forums.

FOR asks each host to:

• Provide an honoraria of $300-$700, plus shipping, from each host. (The fee will go directly to the Fellowship of Reconciliation's Colombia Program and be used to support Colombian peace initiatives.)

• Publicize the exhibit.
  Mount the show.

• Provide reasonable protection against vandalism and theft.
• Repack the show and ship it (with insurance) to its next destination.

The Fellowship of Reconciliation Colombia Program will:

• Coordinate bookings and shipping from one location to the next.

• Support fundraising and publicity efforts by providing materials and advertising within our network of contacts.
• In some cases, arrange a speaker, usually a returned Colombia human rights volunteer, to give a presentation at exhibit openings for no additional cost other than travel costs.
• Provide instructions and support for setting up the exhibit and planning an opening reception.

Exhibit Specifics:

A minimum of about 90 feet (28 meters) of wall space is needed to mount this show. The exhibition consists of:

• 27 high quality color photographs, each framed to 16" x20", with aluminum frames and plexi-glass

• 2 24" x 36" laminated panels with a text introduction and map that situates the different communities
• 4 11" x 17" panels that give short descriptions of each peace community profiled
