3 March 20121 / "Yes to Diversity" exhibition to open in Split in conjunction with EGLSF AGA

From the  Pink Paper:

This Saturday, a prestigious education centre in Croatia will open its doors for a unique photography exhibition celebrating diversity across Europe.

The exhibition - entitled Yes to Diversity, no to discrimination – is the conclusion of a Europe-wide Amnesty International competition and is being opened by renowned Amnesty supporter, BBC commentator and former NBA basketball star John Amaechi.

Amaechi was also the first professional player in the NBA to come out as gay.

The competition was open to amateur photographers across Europe and attracted over 500 entries. They were challenged to submit powerful images promoting the value of a society without discrimination.

An international jury of professional photographers and human rights activists met in Brussels to choose the top 12, and it is those 12 that will be on display at Pučko Otvoreno Učilište (the Centre for Cultural and Educational Activities) in Split from Saturday.
