Fotografii făcute în anii ’50-’60 ai secolului trecut, găsite într-o casă părăsită din raionul Florești, vor fi expuse mâine, 6 iulie, la Muzeul de Artă al Moldovei. Lucrările au fost realizate de Zaharia Cușnir, un lucrător simplu al colhozului din Florești, care s-a adeverit a fi și pasionat de fotografie.

Zaharia Cușnir a fotografiat oamenii din raionul Florești și din cinci sate vecine, timp de zece ani.

Potrivit Nadejdei Cervinscaia, curatoarea expoziției, cele peste patru mii de fotografii artistice au fost găsite de către Victor Galușca, un tânăr regizor, într-o casă părăsită. Acestea erau înșirate pe jos, într-o stare satisfăcătoare. „Ele reprezintă o sursă de cercetare etnografică a portului popular, a caselor și a arhitecturii moldovenești din acei ani. De asemenea, este o mare resursă de cercetare socială și istorică, pentru că perioada ceea nu a fost simplă pentru oameni. Este vorba de rusificare și lucru în colhoz”, spune Nadejda.

Tânăra artistă menționează că Zaharia a reușit să capteze spiritele oamenilor, ceea ce gândesc și simt. „Vrem să facem o cercetare minuțioasă a fotografiilor, pentru că este important ca să regăsim oamenii din imagini. Ne dorim să reînviem interesul pentru fotografia de familie, de arhivă”, a declarat Nadejda, mărturisindu-ne că au găsit fiica fotografului.

Vernisajul se numește „Revedere” și va fi deschis până la 26 august. Mai multe detalii pe pagina de facebook a evenimentului.

Expoziția a fost pregătită cu suportul Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowship 2017.

Ethnic Kists, residing in the Pankisi Gorge, constitute part of the overall Muslim population of Georgia. Pankisi Gorge is located in Kakheti region, Eastern Georgia. According to the census 2014, currently up to 6000 Kists live in the villages of the Pankisi Gorge. Since early 2000’s Pankisi Gorge is firmly associated with crime, terrorism and religious radicalism. Mariam idea was to investigate this issue, understand the roots of this perception and learn how the young Kists counter the stigma of terrorism,

Mariam Amashukeli: “Based on my study findings religious radicalization as such is not present in case of Muslim population (ethnic Kists/Chechens) residing in Pankisi Gorge. It should be emphasized that the harsh/reactive State policy towards the Gorge as well as lack of proficiency in case of majority of the national Media outlets, strongly contributed to shaping inaccurate public opinion about the Gorge which in turn led to labeling the Kist community as (potential) terrorist. Since a stigma of terrorism appeared to be the most important issue in case of the Pankisi population {…}, I decided to write the comprehensive research report unfolding the main challenges in regard to the Pankisi community”.

Mariam’s research project aimed at identifying the young Kists’ responses countering the stigma of terrorism and related issues such as the outflow of Pankisians to Syria, the spread of Salafism in the Gorge and the role of the State in maintaining peace and security in this region. Within her research Mariam collected the narratives of young Salafi as well as non-Salafi respondents and pubslished the report EN/COUNTERING STIGMA OF TERRORISM: THE CASE OF PANKISI.

Photo Exhibition “GAZE”

“Only the man is always changing,
over the world forever raging”

“GAZE” is the exhibition of a photo archive, that will take place on July 6 – August 26, 2018 at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Chisinau, Moldova. The exhibition curator, Nadejda Cervinscaia, was empowered by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowship 2017. “GAZE” exhibition foresees to unveil and to mirror the interior world of a visitor, so the onlooker can rethink the essence of life and detach from the modern chaos.

REDISCOVER, RETHINK, CONTEMPLATE, COMPREHEND, FEEL.
“GAZE” means repeating the alphabet of human feelings.

Accidentally found, the photographs blown by winds, but caressed by so many winters, summers and miracles, behold the spirit of past, the one of ’50-’60.
“[…]
Only man is always changing,
Over the world forever ranging;
We each do our place retain,
As we were, so we remain;
[…]”

The negative films were awaiting being discovered up until 2016. They are the creation of Zaharia Cușnir (1912-1993), firstly a teacher, then a kolkhoz worker, but in the rest of his time, he was a photographer with a special artistic sense. Zaharia left almost 4000 moments captured on the negative films. These moments breath faces, happinesses, aspirations, thoughts of the people on the Răut river in Moldova.

“Only man is always changing,
Over the world forever ranging;”
wrote M. Eminescu, so a human is always changing, or maybe not…?

The exhibition “GAZE” is a retrospective of times’, people’s and land’s metamorphosis. The portraits are gazing the visitor stubbornly enough to reveal the reality from the past. That is to say, “GAZE” aims to draw a parallel between the visitor and life moments caught by the camera of Zaharia. So, be prepared to rediscover of yourself in the ranging world, encounter the small kid or the sensible and mature person from the soul’s depth, feel the emotions connected to different life phases, this is the consistency of the exhibition within the small hall of the Museum.

“GAZE” includes 36 B&W photographs, which are the windows into the past that englobe both a historical period, and the truth of the people. Will you meet them for the first time, or maybe you already know them? The exhibition space proposes an immersive experience of time and human relationship. Moreover, the documentary “Who loves but leaves” (marked with 3 film prizes: Cronograf 2017, SimFest Târgu Mureș 2017 și Docuart București 2017) made by the film
director Victor Galușca will encompass the personal experience of the viewer.

The media and audience are very much encouraged to support the exhibition by visiting it and spreading the word through social media. Check out the facebook page and use the hashtag #RVDR_ZahariaCusnir.
