Review 1

9 am- 6 pm, 10-25 July @ Art Gallery, Alliance Française de Trivandrum

As Chandigarh and Firminy share a common Le Corbusier's bacground, the two cities would profit from a closer collaboration on cultural, educational and tourist field. One part of cooperation is an exchange programme of photographers, for which Diwan Manna was invited to France as an artist to capture the city of Firminy in his camera. Likewise, a photographer from Firminy, Michel Dieudonné spent three weeks in Chandigarh in the month of February with the same objective. An exhibition of the photographs taken by them showing Chandigarh through French eyes and Firminy through Indian eyes, was held in Firminy in October 2006 during the inauguration of the newly built Saint Pierre Church. Diwan Manna's pictures comprise of the interiors and exteriors of the Saint-Pierre church in Firminy. Michel Dieudonné took pictures of the Capital complex in Chandigarh.
