Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian and Dublin Central
Library Senior Librarian Terri Murray with Dr. Vahe Gabrielian,
Armenian Ambassador to UK and Ireland announcing details of the
Armenian photographic exhibition at the Central Library Ilac Centre
from April 16th – 28th 2007.
The Exhibition was composed to celebrate the 15th anniversary
of Armenia’s independence. It is called "Armenia: 15 Years of
Independence". It consists of 140 photographs of 15 Armenian
photographers who have recorded various aspects of Armenia’s life
throughout the years of independence and even a few years before it
(such as the 1988 earthquake and the rallies and demonstrations of
1988-1991, before Independence itself).
The pictures cover scenes of people’s everyday life from baking lavash
(the national bread), folk dancers, remote farms, energy crisis,
a mining factory to new development sites in Yerevan: landscapes,
architecture, history, important events (earthquake, independence
rally, war episode, military parade), famous people (politicians,
scientists, composers, world chess cup winners).
