Independence Day photos displayed

Photographs of Independence Day celebrations on Aug. 17 from
across the archipelago will be displayed at Galeri Foto Cahaya in
Kemang, South Jakarta from Nov. 21 through Dec. 21.

The Indonesian Photo Journalists Association (PFI), the
organizers of the photographic exhibition, will feature 80
photographs taken by 25 Indonesian photographers, grouped in the
association.

The photographs, featuring a variety of styles, were taken
during celebrations of the 56th anniversary of the country's
independence all over the country.

Senior photographers, including Deniek G. Sukarya and Oscar
Matuloh, were scheduled to open the exhibition in a gathering to
break the fast on Wednesday.

PFI said that the exhibition, first of its kind, was aimed to
remind the existence of people who did not care about the
country's dying condition and to remind them on how their
chauvinism had slowly crushed the country's spirit to live in one
homeland, one nation, and one language: Indonesia. --JP
