Opening of the photo exhibition Marianna Glynska "Other Side of Paradise"

April 11, 2018 in the Mykolaiv Regional Universal Scientific Library named after O. Hmyryov at the initiative of the Library Resource Center "Window on America" ​​was the second opening of the photo exhibition Marianna Glynska "Other Side of Paradise", which is exhibited as part of the "Gallery on the Go" project from the American House in Kyiv.

The photographer first came to the United States in 2009, receiving a Fulbright scholarship to study photography, but besides studying, it was important for her to "explore" the country.

Most people in the world believe that the United States of America is a country of prosperity and opportunities for true happiness and self-realization. Although all this may be true, it is often forgotten that there is always the other side of the coin, a party that is not much talked about.

In her exhibition, Marianna is just showing one of the disadvantaged districts of Philadelphia, where she met different and interesting people during the excursion, and makes us wonder if they have a chance for a better life, a chance to escape from the circle of problems that surround them, which in their dreams and so on.

According to her photos, in such a prosperous country as the United States, there are typical problems for the rest of the world that require attention and resolution. Paradise is unattainable and inaccessible to many.

This exhibition will be shown in the library until April 26th, but we invite all those who wish to join the exhibition. 

15 people took part in this event!
