Best of Oxfam Big Heads at G8 Summit 2009: Photo gallery
Here are some of our favorite photos from the Oxfam/UCODEP Big Head stunts during the 2009 G8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy.
Our indomitable campaigners came up with creative ideas...
- Rome Burns While the G8 Fiddles
- G8 Cooking Up the Planet
- G8 Leaders Feast While 1 our of 6 Go Hungry
- Pregnant G8 leaders take a pre-natal yoga class
...in order to demonstrate how the G8 leaders weren't sufficiently addressing the key issues of people's right to health and education, and the impacts of climate change and the food and economic crises, on the worlds poorest people.
