Join together across Japan. Oxfam Photo Exhibit Relay.

The Oxfam Photo Exhibit Relay is a participatory traveling photo exhibition through which you¡¡can learn about conditions in developing countries while expanding international cooperation. All you need is a desire to make change and a display for the photos. Plan a Photo Exhibit. Then pass the Exhibit onto someone else.
Oxfam International is a confederation of 16 independent civilian organizations, with the common aim of solving poverty in the world, and is active in over 100 countries worldwide.
We have many photos of projects in the field, and we felt they could help more people to understand Oxfam¡Çs activities. This was how the idea of a Photo Exhibit Relay was born.
Wouldn¡Çt you like to take part too?

We¡Çve prepared a kit so even one person can hold the Photo Exhibit.

­¡Get the kit from the last exhibitor.
­¢Installing is easy! Just use the wire on the back to hang the photos.
­£On to the next exhibitor!

Is there somewhere near you like a local community center, public hall in the city office, shopping arcade, a shop, or a hotel lounge where you could hold a Photo Exhibit? Please talk to those in charge of such a place and ask if and when you could hold an Exhibit. When the place has been decided, if possible, please find someone to pass the Exhibit on to (you can apply even if you don¡Çt find someone).
* Please bear the delivery of the photo panels and other costs of the photo exhibit
