FTRN says: “Focused on Indian tea growers and Guatemalan coffee growers, this exhibit brings viewers images and handwritten postcards that illustrate daily life, common struggles, and shared hope that fair trade brought to these communities. Learn how these communities put violent struggles behind them and now utilize fair trade business relationships as the means by which they fight for justice in their lives. These two distinct communities, who speak different languages, live on different continents, and practice different religions, have more in common than they ever imagined.”
Summary/review: This exhibit will help viewers:
- Understand how Fair Trade relationships enhance the quality of life for producers, their families and communities, and how women realize a disproportionate benefit.
- Interact with a global community taking action to ease inequalities wrought by traditional trade structures.
- Observe a rare exchange between Fair Trade producers on different continents.
Exhibit has been hosted by retails stores in Indiana, and a Fair Trade Boston Exhibition.
