`Camp Darfur’ ` Interactive Exhibit: 9:00 a.m. ` 4:00 p.m. ` `Camp
Darfur’ is a simulated refugee camp, a group of canvas tents, each
tent telling the history and tragedy of a major genocide of the 20th
century (Armenia; Holocaust; Cambodia; Bosnia; Rwanda) and now Darfur,
the first genocide of the 21st century. The materials in each tent
present time lines, photographs, testimonies of survivors and
witnesses, and resources for additional examination. Attendees can
write messages on the tents that express their responses to what they
see and learn from the exhibit. The Darfur tent includes video footage
from refugee camps on the Chad-Darfur border, giving attendees an
opportunity to hear directly from those whose lives are currently at
great risk. `Camp Darfur’ founders Katie-Jay Scott and Gabriel
Stauring, will speak at the exhibit.

Sand and Sorrow Screening: 7:00 p.m. ` 9:00 p.m. ` The film Sand and
Sorrow, narrated by George Clooney, gives an outstanding overview of
the complex history of the Darfur crisis and the current conflict
between the government-sponsored militias and innocent civilians in
the Darfur region who are targeted for mass extermination.

Refreshments will be served.
