BURMA - DEMOCRACY DENIED TOUR
-----------------------------

Sydney is to be the last leg of the 'BURMA - Democracy Denied' exhibition
that has toured Australia since mid-April.

The National tour has recieved much media attention in the cities it visited,
including three national radio interviews. Several school groups also 
attended as part of their Asian studies course.

The exhibition dates for Sydney are the 19th of October to the 30th of 
October at the Waterside Workers Gallery, 63 Sussex St., Sydney. For more 
info on the Sydney tour please send a reply email.

The tour was sponsored by several churches, trade unions, Austcare, 
Community Aid Abroard to name but a few.

The exhibition comprises:
        10 large colour display panels, examining the country's history,
        resources, ethnic mix, trade, human rights abuses & refugee problems.
        Take-away pamphlets giving an in-depth look at the topics covered.
        A 25 min slide-show/Video which adds atmosphere & emotion to the
        exhibition site.
        A documentary on the plight of the displaced people inside Burma &
        the impact of foreign investment on the situation there.
The exhibition is strongly action oriented, with ideas for campaigns, letter-
writing, boycotts, petitions etc.

The exhibition kit is available from:
"Burma Issues"
PO Box 1076
Silom Post Office
Bangkok, 10504
THAILAND
Tel/Fax (662) 234 6674
for US$300 or equivalent, plus postage.

2 copies of the complete exhibition kit have been purchased by The Uniting 
Church and the Queensland Education Dept. Both will be used extensively in
schools and hopefully made available to interest groups.


The Sydney exhibition finishes soon, DON'T miss out!! (unless you are on
the other side of the world - that could be quite difficult! You will have 
to get together with someone and buy a copy from Burma Issues!!!)
