EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS at Galerie OFF Interarts June 29 - July 03. Opening night is Monday, June 29 at 7pm. extraordinaryjourneys@gmail.com

SinglStyle is collaborating with local and international visual artists to produce a mixed-media exhibit in recognition of World Refugee Day, titled Extraordinary Journeys, June 29 - July 03, 2009 at OFF Interarts 5145 Saint-Laurent; opening night will be the evening of Monday, June 29. The exhibit will run for several days and will feature local Montreal artists, including artworks such as: paintings, poetry, installations. The exhibit will take us through an extraordinary journey through the lens of a photojournalist in Congo, who is now working in Palestine.

Designer Andrew Bacchus states that “The purpose of Extraordinary Journeys is to achieve an awareness of the journeys that a refugee will experience, which can at times be horrific, but at other times, a wonder, and an inspiration to us all. There is no doubt that this recession year of 2009 is a tough time for many, but we cannot allow ourselves to forget the plight of others, even though our own circumstances may make it difficult to do so.”
