Chinese dissidents: 10 December an exhibition at PIME in Milan

Beginning tomorrow an exhibition about the issues, but above all the actors for real change from the grassroots of Chinese society: dissident activities in the fields of human rights, treatment of AIDS, forced abortions, religious freedom. It runs until 23 December.

Milan (AsiaNews) - Tomorrow 10 December at 11 am, the PIME Missionary Center in Milan, will inaugurate the exhibition "Huai Dan" ( "rotten eggs"), which presents the main characters and problems facing the dissident world in China. The title is inspired by the term that is popularly used to indicate dissidents, activists and those fighting for human rights in China and who are problematic to those in power.

Speakers at the inauguration: Fr. Angelo Lazzarotto, PIME missionary and sinologist; Gerolamo Fazzini, editor of Mondo e Missione (World and Mission) and curator of the exhibition, Roberto Ronza, delegate of the President for International Relations of the Lombardy Region; Gigi Petteni, regional secretary of CISL Lombardy, Gianfranco Fabi, Director of Radio 24.

The exhibition consists of 42 panels (70x1000 cm), 30 of which match the profile of a personality and the issues for which he/she campaigns.  Through this virtual journey, visitors are presented a series of "open problems" with which the China of today must measure itself, but which at the same time, are singled out by the people who are fighting for their solution. The exhibition will be inaugurated on Thursday December 10 at the PIME Missionary Centre in Milan.

Promoted by Mondo e Missione, the monthly PIME magazine, the exhibition is sponsored by the Lombardy Region, in collaboration with the CISL and media partners such as the agency AsiaNews, and the website MissiOnLine. It will remain open from December 10 to 23 at the PIME Missionary Centre in Milan. Hours: Monday - Saturday: 9.00-12.30 / 14-18 Closed on Sundays and holidays.
