Year's drama in photo display

JAKARTA (JP): Forty works by photojournalists showcasing the country's most dramatic moments of the year -- starting from the resignation of Soeharto to the fatal shooting at Semanggi cloverleaf -- will go on display at Antara Press Photo Gallery beginning Friday.

The Indonesian Photojournalists Association said works to be displayed during the Dec. 18 to Jan. 14 exhibition were selected from about 80 black-and-white and color pictures submitted by the association's 100 members.

The Dari Lengser Sampai Semanggi (From Resignation To Semanggi) exhibition also serves to publicly launch the association.

The organizer will also hold a one-day discussion on the photos on the second day. The show will travel to several cities, including Bandung, Yogyakarta and Denpasar. (msa)
