Lalibela – putovanje u Jerusalim Afrike – izložba fotografija Gali Tibon

Večeras, 19. aprila 2018. godine u 19h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija “Lalibela – putovanje u Jerusalim Afrike” Gali Tibon, Muzej afričke umetnosti, Andre Nikolića 14

Etiopija je jedna od najstarijih hrišćanskih zemalјa na svetu, u kojoj se оvа vеrа počelа propovedati u prvim vekovima hrišćаnstvа, a zvanično je priznatа kao religija u 4. veku n.e. Etiopska prаvоslаvnа tеvаhеdо crkva danas broji preko 40 miliona vernika.

Hrišćanska tradicija neraskidivo je upletena u kulturu i istoriju zemlјe. Najsvetiji grad i najvažnije hodočasničko središte je Lalibela, gradić smešten u severnom planinskom području Lasta, koji godišnje pohodi veliki broj domaćih vernika, ali i sve više stranih posetilaca.

Jedanaest monolitnih crkava, zа kоје sе prеtpоstаvlја dа su sagrađene za vreme vladavine krаlја Lаlibеlе (12-13. vеk), isklesane su u mekom crvenom vulkanskom kamenu ispod nivoa zemlјe, i povezane mrežom tunela i podzemnih prolaza. Nјihova izgradnja predstavlјa izuzetan arhitektonski podvig, a od 1978. godine nalaze se pod zaštitom UNESKО-a. Prostorni raspored bogomolјa, grupisanih u dve skupine, pa čak i naziv reke Jordanos koja ih deli, podsećaju na Jerusalim i celom lokalitetu daju takoreći biblijski prizvuk. Od 12. veka, od kada su crkve podignute, u njima se neprekinuto obavlјa verska služba.

GALI Tibbon, nagrađivana fotografkinja iz Jerusalima, zа dokumentarni rad o Lalibeli, 2013. gоdinе је оsvојilа nаgrаdu kојu dоdеlјuје Sony World Photography (WPO). Izmеđu оstаlih priznаnjа, dоbitnicа је i Moscow International Photo Award, Fotoweek DC, dva puta je bila pobednica UNESCO Humanity Photo Award i finalistkinja National Geographic konkursa. Rad joj je zasnovan na istraživanju religije, vere i duhovnosti kod vernika širоm planete. Fotografije su joj objavlјivаne u mnogobrojnim novinama i čаsоpisimа: Geo, National Geographic, Newsweek, Elle, Time, itd. Nјеni rаdоvi su izlagani u muzejima, galerijama i na mnogobrojnim internacionalnim festivalima fotografije širоm svеtа.

Izložba je rezultat saradnje Muzeja afričke umetnosti, Beogradske tvrđave i Beogradskog meseca fotografije.

Lalibela – A Journey to the Jerusalem of Africa – photography exhibition by Gali Tibon

Tonight, 19th April 2018 at 19h, opening of photography exhibition “Lalibela – A Journey to the Jerusalem of Africa” by Gali Tibon, The Museum of African Art, Andre Nikolića 14

Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian countries in the world, where Christianity was officially recognised as a religion in the 4th century. Today, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church gathers over 40 million believers.

The Christian tradition is inextricably linked with this country’s culture and history. The holiest city and the most significant centre of pilgrimage is Lalibela, a little town situated in the northern mountainous area of Lasta, visited every year by large numbers of local believers, but increasingly also by foreign visitors.

Eleven monolithic churches, assumed to have been built during the reign of King Lalibela (12-13th century), were carved out of a soft red volcanic rock, below ground level, and connected through a network of tunnels and subterranean passages. Their construction represents an extraordinary architectural achievement, and since 1978, the churches have been under the protection of UNESCO. The spatial layout of the churches, which are grouped into two clusters, and the very name of the river Yordanos that divides them, are reminiscent of Jerusalem, imbuing the entire setting with an almost biblical aura. Since the 12th century when the churches were erected, religious services have been held without interruption.

GALI Tibbon photographer is an award-winning photographer based in Jerusalem. In 2013 she was named Travel Photographer of the Year at the Sony World Photography Awards (WPO) in London for her documentary work on Lalibela, Ethiopia. Among her many awards are: the Moscow International Photo Award, Fotoweek DC, she is a two-time winner of the UNESCO Humanity Photo Award, and a National Geographic photo contest finalist (etc.). Her work explores the theme of religion, focusing on faith, capturing the spiritual and abstract emotions of the believers into her stills as she travels around the globe. Tibbon’s images are published regularly in renowned magazines and newspapers worldwide (Geo, National Geographic, Newsweek, Elle, Time, etc.). Her pictures are exhibited in museums, galleries and prestigious international photo festivals.

The exhibition is the result of the cooperation between the Museum of African Art, Belgrade Fortress and Belgrade Photo Month.

Karaburma, my ghetto – photography exhibition by Igor Čoko

Tonight, 18th April 2018 at 19h, opening of photography exhibition “Karaburma, my ghetto” by Igor Čoko, Galerija Eurocentar, Makedonska 30

Many things doesn’t looks like we want to see them. Or it doesn’t suit us to present them the way they really are. Sometimes raw, sometimes brutal, quite on the edge. But so outgiving, truth and full of life. Welcome to Karaburma. My ghetto. A place of restless spirit and very kind people. A place of vivid extremes, which street and social aesthetic I was documenting during past five years. Welcome to my personal Bronx.

Karaburma moj geto – Igor Čoko izložba fotografija

Večeras, 18. aprila 2018. godine u 19h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija Igora Čoke “Karaburma moj geto”, Galerija Eurocentar, Makedonska 30

Mnoge stvari vjerovatno ne izgledaju onako kako želimo da ih vidimo. Ili nam ne odgovara da ih predstavimo onakve kakve jesu. Često puta sirove, brutalne, na ivici. Ali životne, neposredne i istinite. Dobrodošli u Karaburmu. Moj geto. Kraj nemirnog duha, ali veoma prijatnih ljudi. Mjesto živopisnih krajnosti, čiju sam uličnu i socijalnu estetiku dokumentovao tokom proteklih pet godina. Dobrodošli u moj lični Bronks.

Slavic Traditions – “Serbia’s CraftBeat” project presentation

Today, 17th April 2018 at 18h, opening of “Slavic Traditions” photography exhibition of Russian photographer Ilmara, Ruski dom, Kraljice Natalije 33

The Serbia’s CraftBeat project aimed at promoting Serbian culture in the world presents the exhibition of Russian photographer Ilmar “Slavic Traditions”.

The exhibition is dedicated to traditional crafts of Serbia, places where the crafts are developed and to people who preserve the traditions of their ancestors. The project is supported by the National Tourism Organisation of Serbia and Ethnographic Museum of Belgrade.

The project “Serbia’s CraftBeat” made by photographer Ilmar and journalist Victoria Martynova draws a new map of this Balkan country. Try Serbia, taste Serbia, buy the most original souvenirs – and you will definitely fall in love. You just need to pull off the beaten path, well-known by all tourists and go the hidden places where sweaters are being knitted, pies are being baked and pottery is being fired exactly as it had been doing centuries ago. Being jealous of traditions, Ilmar shoots all the photographs on film only, and Victoria does interviews with local residents to give you personal experience and impression, to make this map truly lively and interactive.

The project consists of series of publications describing different Serbian towns and crafts.

Victoria Martynova:
Journalist Victoria Martynova writes for Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, FHM and other established magazines, works with numerous TV channels. She has a Master’s degree in International relations and has been studying the cultural and geographical characteristics of Serbia for over 15 years. She’s the creator of the Faces of Belgrade project, and has written the majority of the texts on the project’s site. On a daily basis, several thousand people read her blogs about life in the Balkans on social media and on various websites.

Slovenske Tradicije – Prezentacija projekta “Serbia’s CraftBeat”

Danas, 17. aprila 2018. godine u 18h, svečano otvaranje izložbe umetničke fotografije ruskog fotografa Ilmara “Tradicije Slovena”, Ruski dom, Kraljice Natalije 33

Ova Izložba je prezentacija prve faze projekta “Serbia’s CraftBeat” čiji je cilj promovisanje kulturne baštine starih zanata kao i njihovo očuvanje.

Projekat pod nazivom “Serbia’s CraftBeat”/”Puls srpskih zanata”, čiji su autori fotograf Ilmar i novinarka Victoria Martynova, iscrtava novu mapu ove balkanske zemlje. Probaj Srbiju, okusi Srbiju, kupi najoriginalnije suvenire – i definitivno ćeš se zaljubiti. Jedino treba da skreneš sa utabane staze, staze dobro-poznate turistima, i da potražiš skrivena mesta na kojima se pletu džemperi, peku se pite, a keramika se pravi upravo onako kao što je rađeno i pre nekoliko vekova. Ljubomoran prema tradiciji zanata, Ilmar isključivo koristi film za svoje fotografije, dok je Victoria razgovarala sa lokalnim stanovništvom kako bi dobili što ličnije iskustvo i utiske, te na taj način ovu mapu učinili istinski živom i interaktivnom.

Projekat se sastoji od niza publikacije koje opisuju različite gradove i zanate širom Srbije.

Victoria Martynova:
Novinarka Victoria Martynova piše za Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, FHM i druge etablirane časopise, a radi i sa brojnim televizijskim kućama.
