Выставка работ победителей Конкурса Стенина впервые открылась на Маврикии

With support from the Russian Embassy in Mauritius, several dozens of winning works from Bangladesh, Great Britain, India, Italy, Myanmar, South Africa, Spain, Syria and Russia were displayed at Caudan Arts Centre in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius.

The tenth anniversary season of the contest and its exhibition cover a broad range of topics, from environment, social disturbances, the ethnographic and cultural diversity of the world, to striking personal stories. Earlier, the best works of this year’s Stenin Contest visited Beijing, Belgrade, Dar es Salaam, Kinshasa and Sharja.

Russian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Mauritius Irada Zeinalova opened the exhibition:

“Andrei Stenin was a good friend of mine. He worked with my husband in Donbass during that very trip that became his last. He was uncompromising in his work and profession. He always insisted that journalists must show what actually happens and concerns the public. This photo exhibition by young journalists today does exactly that.”

Сontest curator Oksana Oleinik said:

“We are delighted to present the Stenin Contest to the Mauritian public for the first time. Expanding the geography of our road shows is not only an opportunity to showcase brilliant and striking works by our contestants to the world. We also seek new talented participants. We hope that next year, we will see young photojournalists from Mauritius among winners”

The international road show of the 10th Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest will continue in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
