This is an invitation from the director of C.A.U.S.E., Coalition of
Artists United for Social Engagement.
I took it upon me to create a new project centered around the cruel
issue of cluster bombs. In short: cluster bombs are bombs containing
hundreds of smaller bombs and once exploding the smaller bombs spread
the area and cause hundreds of victims of which 30 % are children.
This is not only during impact itself but also after, meaning that not
all explode immediately but often then when children play on
playgrounds; fields and farmlands causing severe disability or death.
An absolutely unacceptable situation!

At present there are a number of international conferences aiming at
putting a complete ban on the production and use of cluster bombs. The
final conference will take place on December 2nd and 3rd in Oslo,
Norway, and to support an NGO especially centered around creating
awareness and acting as a pressure group I decided to create a new art
project titled “They bomb children, don’t they?”.

I therefore would like to invite you to participate and to visit a
specially made information digital document where you will find
extensive information about the issue itself, as well as how you can
participate and contribute. You can view this at
www.the-cause.org/clusterinfo.swf
Note: if it opens in your browser chance is it will look too small. To
view it full screen choose in your toolbar ‘view’ and ‘full screen’.

I look forward to hear from you and to your participation.

Sincerely,

Gino d’Artali
Director C.A.U.S.E.
