The "Simfonia de Amor" campaign in 2006-7 in support of the Ecuadorian NGO Ninos trabajadores, a campaign to create awareness about children working, and also the website of C.A.U.S.E. (and the "FacingFaces" presented on it) still attracks approx. 5000 visitors a month which is not bad indeed.
Still, it's time to move on and I took it upon me to create a new project centered around the cruel issue of cluster bombs. In short: cluster bombs are bombs containing hundreds of smaller bombs and once exploding the smaller bombs spread the area and cause hundreds of victims of which 30 % are children. This is not only during impact itself but also after, meaning that not all explode immediately but often then when children play on playgrounds; fields and farmlands causing severe disability or death. An absolutely unacceptable situation!
At present there are a number of international conferences aiming at putting a complete ban on the production and use of cluster bombs. The final conference will take place on December 2nd and 3rd 2008 in Oslo, Norway, and to support an NGO especially centered around creating awareness and acting as a pressure group I decided to create a new art project titled "They bomb children, don't they?".
I therefore would like to invite you to participate.

Click here for an overview of artists who already send in artworks and links to their works.

I look forward to hear from you and to your participation.

Sincerely,

Gino d'Artali
Director C.A.U.S.E.

Important: December 2009: unfortunately and because of a too few number of artists who send in contributions I had to cancel this project. It simply was too hard to find a Norwegian gallery or cultural center willing to provide space, time and effort to make an exhibition possible.
I do apologize to the artists who send in artworks and will keep them available on this website for interested visitors to view.
