  • June 16, 2007: 5th Annual Solar Cook-off & Expo - Saturday, June 16 at the Bisbee Farmers Market Vista Park in Warren 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • May 21, 2007: DARFUR|DARFUR: A special exhibition and benefit reception. Ticket proceeds will benefit The Solar Cooker Project for the Touloum refugee camp in Chad.
(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) – The internationally touring photographic exhibition DARFUR|DARFUR will be presented at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts on May 21, 2007, at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are available for $15 through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787).
DARFUR|DARFUR is a digitally projected exhibition of images by internationally acclaimed photojournalists depicting life in the war-torn region of Darfur, Sudan, where at least 400,000 people have been killed and more than two million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes since the genocide began in 2003. The exhibition features images by former U.S. Marine Brian Steidle and photojournalists Lynsey Addario, Mark Brecke, Helene Caux, Ron Haviv, Paolo Pellegrin, Ryan Spencer Reed and Michal Safdie, accompanied by traditional Sudanese music as well as clips from several documentaries in current production. Guest speakers include John Prendergast, senior policy analyst with the International Crisis Group who is currently co-authoring Not on our Watch with actor Don Cheadle, and Brian Steidle who, in addition to providing images for the exhibition, is the subject of The Devil Came on Horseback, a documentary exposing the violence and tragedy of the genocide of Darfur that premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Books by both speakers also will be available for sale at the event. DARFUR|DARFUR has been presented throughout the United States and abroad to raise awareness of Darfur’s multi-cultural population and the violence and mass killings that have devastated the region.
BENEFIT RECEPTION
A special benefit reception with the guest speakers and music by AZ Rhythm Connection follows the program. Ticket proceeds will benefit The Solar Cooker Project for the Touloum Refugee Camp in Chad. Women and girls fleeing the genocide in Darfur are placed in extreme jeopardy of rape and other forms of violence when undertaking the simple, but vital, task of collecting firewood for cooking fuel. By outfitting the refugees of the Touloum Camp with solar cookers, the need for women and children to collect firewood outside camp is significantly reduced. This project is being implemented successfully at the Iridimi Camp in Chad. Tickets for the exhibition and benefit reception are available through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787).

[edit] Colorado

  • July 19 - 22, 2007:DREAMTIME FESTIVAL Paonia, Western Colorado, USA, Check out the details at [1]. This is a festival with music and performance, art, workshops, drumming, learning and playing. The festival-goers are primarily young people in the 20 -30 age range, but us elders are respected and have plenty to teach and learn as well. We will have a SOLAR COOKING THEME CAMP, and will be cooking daily while the sun is shining beginning at 10am. Last year was so sunny we never had to use any back-up fuel: solar cooked all our food, and neighboring camps came over and used the cookers. We welcome anyone interested to bring extra cookers (or not) and join us. A limited number of camping passes will be waiting at the gate for those interested in camping near the SC Theme Camp. When you get to the gate, ask for the pass and follow the map to SC to set up camp. Be sure to read the Survival Guide online at the [2] site so you'll know what to bring besides solar cookers and food to cook with the sun. --Tara Miller & Sam Brown
