The Fat City Gallery is hosting three days of events and an exhibition this weekend aimed at exposing ongoing human rights abuses in Syria and rallying an Aspen audience to the cause.
The gallery will host detention and torture survivor Omar Alshogre, who will give testimony of his experience Friday, followed by a exhibition of images by the anonymous photographer known as “Caesar” who has documented the Assad regime’s murder of detainees, and will close with a screening Sunday of the documentary “Red Lines.”
The Global Warming Mitigation Project would like to thank everyone who came out to Fat City Gallery on Thursday evening for our Pioneering the Future event to enjoy art, community and conversations about climate solutions.
A world of gratitude to local artists Isa Catto, Pete McBride and Mike Marolt for sharing their artwork and views on what their work reveals about our warming planet. A huge shout out to DJ Watkins and the entire squad at Fat City Gallery for hosting the event, and our heartfelt appreciation to Mod’s Thai House, Aspen Elks, Alex Brough, Shae Singer, and Bruce and Jan Saxon and everyone else who graciously helped to make the evening so successful!
