HURI Special Presentation - 5/2/06

by daviscalendar-list＠lists.fas.harvard.edu

* **Through the Lense of a Camera: Chornobyl Revisited On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the nuclear accident Photographs and Lecture by Yuriy Kosin Tuesday May 2, 2006 4:00 to 6:00 PM Seminar Room Ukrainian Research Institute Harvard University 1583 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA * April 26, 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl accident, the world's worst nuclear disaster. The Ukrainian Research Institute is commemorating this tragic event with a special presentation by celebrated Ukrainian photographer Yuriy Kosin who will show and discuss his photographic work dealing with the Chornobyl disaster and its aftermath. Mr. Kosin, a nuclear engineer by training, was employed at Chornobyl prior to and after the disaster. He was among the 800,000 "liquidators," the army of mercy that came down to the "hell of Chornobyl." Deeply moved by his experiences, Mr. Kosin has devoted the past 20 years to capturing, through the lens of a camera, the human face of Ukraine. His compositions on Ukraine and Chornobyl have recently been published in the critically acclaimed book, /Through the Eyes of Ukraine/. Mr. Kosin's other major projects include "Transgressions," "Ukraine," and "Revolution that Turned into a Celebration." Over the years, Mr. Kosin has participated in more than 40 joint exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, and France. Some of his photographs depicting the Orange Revolution also appear in the documentary /Borderland: Ukraine and the Rebirth of Democracy,/ produced by Alaya Productions of Virginia. /This presentation is co-sponsored by the Ukrainian Research Institute and the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University / **Upcoming Lectures and Presentations of Interest **/(Unless indicated otherwise, events are held from 4-6:00 PM in HURI's Seminar Room): /Monday, May 1, 2006 /Language, Olfactory Communication, and Gender /Lesya Stavytska */Head, Department of Sociolinguistics, Institute of the Ukrainian Language, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Eugene and Daymel Shklar Fellow, Ukrainian Research Institute / /*Program subject to change.
