An art exhibit of more than 40 paintings, depicting what has been called the
Chinese government's persecution and oppression of practitioners of Falun Dafa,
will be presented from Sunday through Oct. 22 at the Southern Illinois
University at Edwardsville Religious Center.
Falun Dafa is a traditional self-cultivation practice to improve mind and
body, which is seen as a threat by the Chinese government. In 2004, the United
Nations produced a report on what it called "the terrible torture and
killing of women, men and children, including infants."
The exhibit -- The Oppression of Falun Dafa (Gong) -- will be shown from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Practitioners will be available to discuss the artwork and talk
about Falun Dafa. At 11:30 a.m. Oct. 19, Huagui Li, a Chinese national, will
speak about her captivity and torture in the Chinese jail and her witness of
persecution of torture and killing of other Falun Dafa practitioners.
