Beauty contest with heavy purpose?
Are there occasions when ethics
must be put aside of political reasons?
OR is it always done this way, but we
are all crippled in our sight and visions?

wa are all crippled in many ways, anna-lys :(
As I understand, the reasons for this surprising competition may be a good one. There may however be better ways to fight against the landmines and give support to the victims!

True, very true, indeed!
But, mostly we are actively
closing our eyes and ears.

Don't know about that ... really
I think artful eye-openers like
the above exhibition creates dialogues
and dialogues changes way of thinking.
Either we think this contest are disgusting and expose people, people in general are drawn to contests and even more to beauty ... this exhibition turns all of this upside down and I think thereby highlighten important both ethical and political dimensions, no matter if we like it or not - it has an impact on the target at hand.
I think it is both a creative and intelligent act and art that surely can make a difference in our social mind.
An outcome is that people actually think it is unfair that only the winner of the contest gets a new artificial leg ... and thereby rise money to all the others, that didn't win ...
Sometimes if not often anger is a forceful power of change. :-D
this is a provocative way to bring attention to the issue. certainly there are other ways to approach the issue, but it's certainly a fact that pretty women get people's attention.
it took me a little bit to realize her leg was gone. when i first opened looked at the image i thought her leg at the knee perhaps to help prop herself up.

Yes, it's kind of natural ...
beauty can do magic ;-)
And beauty is more of an
attitude than anything else.
Let's beauty make change!
It is about time it comes
to work LOL
Today is our day! Let's enjoy it!
I enjoy, I surely do :-)
I do not like to brag, but I was once christened "Mr. Pothole".

Yes, yes
I heard You by the first bark!
Congrats Mr Pothole :-D
Why does she have to pose with a weapon...?
Miss Landmine
didn't have a cam
when the accident happen.
Every time someone else
find a landmine, the landmine
can't be photographed, mostly
not the persons that happens
to find them, either. Miss Landmine
above is using the weapon to
express what the art exhibition is all about ... that is my guessing, I don't know this people. This days I hardly know myself ;-)
Allsååå, pikadollan ska få oss att koppla hoppla till krig och eländes elände. De kunde inte fota själva landminan innan den sprängde bort skånken.
You return, once again to enlighten our lives Anna.lys.
Welcome.
Congratulations on women's day! Miss you.

The point - as I see it- is the museum's focus on common people. The exibition has been around for a long time. The army museum chooses international women's day for opening it in Stockholm. Following the enclosed links, one can learn lots about this issue.
Now you've done it. You've made me think. Again.
Miss Landmine? What´s next?
War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.sung by whome?
i understand birthday greets are in order, my friend :)
Tykot
That is correct - the contest is every year.
Rick
... and the result is? ;-)
Gunnar
