Photographs of young Iranian bloggers will also be displayed, as well as photographs by renowned professional photographers who have recently fled Iran.\u00a0 \u2028\u2028ABF hopes that this combination of art and evidence will effectively raise awareness of the plight of young Iranians whose hopes continue to be shattered, encourage solidarity on campuses around the U.S., and ultimately motivate visitors to further engage in and mobilize efforts toward combating injustice in Iran.\u00a0 \u2028\u2028We hope you will be able to join us during the week of April 10 \u2013 13, 2012. \u2028\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2028\u2028Location: Northeastern Illinois University \u2028Salme Harju Steinberg Fine Arts Building (Auditorium) \u2028301 W.
