<span>The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mission in Australia, in partnership with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
<br>
</span>
<div>(DFAT), is pleased to invite you to the opening of In the Fight: Humanity and Tribal Conflict, a multimedia exhibition by the ICRC.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the Fight: Humanity and Tribal Conflict shares stories of resilience and humanity amid warfare in the remote peaks and valleys of Papua New </div>
<div>Guinea’s highlands. This exhibition is a journey through the historical and cultural intricacies of tribal fighting in one of Australia’s closest neighbours. </div>
<div>It is a story of how communities are working together, and with the International Committee of the Red Cross, to minimise the humanitarian </div>
<div>consequences of being ‘in the fight’. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The official exhibition opening will be held on Tuesday 29 October at 12.30pm, in the atrium of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade </div>
<div>R G Casey Building, John McEwen Crescent, Barton, ACT.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We will be joined by Mr. Ahmad Hallak, Head of the ICRC Mission in Papua New Guinea who will provide insights into the situation in the highlands </div>
<div>and share how the ICRC is working with communities to respond. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Refreshments and a viewing of the exhibition will follow the presentation. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We look forward to seeing you or your representative at the opening. Please RSVP to can_canberra@icrc.org </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For further information, please contact ICRC Communication Officer, Caitlin Welch on (02) 6273 2968 or cwelch@icrc.org</div>
