ABOUT WOMEN
With the aim of elaborating the already existing relations among photographers of the Balkan countries, Photo Information Center organized the First Meeting of Photographers in Sofia on 7–17 March 2005. Highlight of this event was an exhibition held at the “Sredets” Hall of the Ministry of Culture in Sofia. Four women photographers from Bulgaria (Sonya Stankova), Turkey (Silva Bingaz), Greece (Hrysoula Iamoglou) and Serbia-Montenegro (Alexandrija Ajdukovic) presented their work under the aegis of the project “ABOUT WOMEN”.
The exhibition was dedicated to International Woman’s Day (8 March) and was supported by the Ministry of Culture of Bulgaria.
Apart from the aforementioned artists, our guests included representatives of photography-related organizations, art critics and journalists from the guest countries.
The photo exhibition was inaugurated by the Deputy Minister of Culture arch. Abadjiev in the presence of the Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria Mr. Lyuben Kornezov, MPs and representatives of the diplomatic missions of the guest countries, of Bulgarian women’s organizations, journalists, photographers and creators in the field of culture. The Bulgarian print and electronic media extensively covered the meeting.
For the five days our foreign guests were visiting Photo Information Center we showed them around the major sights of the capital city and organized meetings with Bulgarian photographers. At these meetings Photo Information Center and the photographers received an official invitation to be guests and to show the project “About Women” at an exhibit in June in the City Art Gallery of Plovdiv, while they were also invited to the biggest international photographers’ meeting, “Photovacation 2005”, which takes place this September on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Because of the keen interest shown in this event during the days spent together we discussed with our friends and guests the prospect of the exhibition travelling as well to Belgrade, Istanbul and Athens.
