“After the Thaw”: A photo exhibition curated by Patrick Lawrence
Monday, September 26th, 2011A new photo exhibition, “After The Thaw” presents a unique and stimulating insight into the lives of people living in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia and Tajikistan. When these countries gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the attention of the world briefly focused upon this cluster of new nations. The prospect of democracy seemed to offer a genuine opportunity for a future of peace and prosperity. Two decades on, away from the media spotlight, millions of people continue to struggle to build a livelihood in a post-communist world.
The exhibition is curated by Patrick Lawrence of Sons of Noel and Adrian and Laish on behalf of Oxfam.
Where: The Strand Gallery, 32 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6BP
When: 15-19 November 2011 11am – 7pm
