Kolkata, March 2 (IANS): A photography exhibition beginning here March 8 will showcase the link between Iran and south Asian nations via myriad facets of democracy, an organiser said Sunday.
'Pix: The Iran Issue', a group show of 14 budding and established photographers will include documentary and fictional narratives as well as art photography.
Organised by Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata, in collaboration with Studio 21, a city-based association that hosts alternative art practices, the event will run for three weeks.
