What are we doing
View the art of Abbas for about 1.5hr. Entrance Fee at $5/head. Discount of 10% may be applicable if I get 20 people or more.
<Excerpts from National Museum's website>
As a member of the prestigious photo agency Magnum since 1981, acclaimed photographer Abbas has roamed the world for 45 years, covering major political and social events, and publishing his works widely in world magazines and newspapers. Through his early photojournalistic and other major works such as the Iranian Revolution and the Islamic world (before and after the September 11 incident), Abbas has shown his dedication to the struggles within different societies in this rapidly globalising world, with an emphasis on religion defined by him as culture rather than faith.
Abbas, born in Iran in 1944 and later moved to Paris, shares his thoughts and perspectives in this first retrospective exhibition of 133 visually striking black and white photographs, and four audio-visual clips.
As always, we welcome NON_RFer's.
Pack fast film (if we shoot at night after 1800hrs), no flash photography in the Museum, and please confirm your attendance so that I can plan for a bulk discount (I order prior to the day)for the entrance fee, so please try to keep to your attendance. I would like to confirm ticket purchase by Thursday 21 July.
