Photo project “Satka: City Code” is now continued: to celebrate 95th anniversary of the Satka Region the square in front of Stroitel HoC houses an exhibition with portraits of Satka residents.

Up to now the major part of the exhibition is taken up by 20 photos of Moscow art photographer, Ivan Kurinniy, which have already been presented to the Satka residents earlier within the exhibitions in the Ruina Art Space and near the front entrance of the Magnezit HoC. Representatives of different generations and occupations look at the visitors from the large monochrome canvas: Magnezit workers, those occupied in fields of culture, education, small enterprise, the elderly and the young residing in the town. In the near future the exhibition will receive additional new portraits, in total more than 40 photos by Ivan Kurinniy are to be exhibited in the HoC square.

Let us recall that the project “Satka: City Code” started on July 16th of this year, and is implemented with support of the Magnezit Group, the Sobranie Fund and the Satka Region Administration. Ivan Kurinniy’s photo exhibition is the first step of the project, which is now being continued by other authors, including the locals. The lens captured not only people, but the town itself, its production facilities and culture, the beauty of its forests, mountain peaks and rivers, its rich history and modern technologies.

It shall be noted that the project receives abundant support and feedback, especially on the part of the participants. The protagonists in the portraits and their relatives and friends often inquired about what was to happen to their photos which were temporarily removed from the exhibition, as some of the exhibition facilities had to be used for other projects. We are glad to inform that the exhibition will be expanded, and new photos will appear not only near the Stroitel HoC, but also on the main streets of the town. Currently project development, as well as new venues for the exhibition, are under negotiation, and we will soon provide updates with the new details.
