“History In Focus: People, Politics, and Pivotal Events Through the Lens of Chris Niedenthal” is a rare opportunity to see the world through the lens of one of Europe's most celebrated photojournalists and meet him in person. This is more than just an exhibition—it’s a journey through time! Join us to hear Chris Niedenthal open the exhibition of 60 of his remarkable, carefully curated photographs. He will share fascinating stories in a conversation moderated by Dr. Steven Seegel, Associate Chair of Slavic and Eurasian Studies, who will also introduce the event. Most of the presented photographs are images from Central and Eastern Europe, spanning the 1960s through today. The reception following the discussion will match the theme with authentic Polish food provided by Apolonia Catering. The event is free and open to the public, and plenty of free parking is available. Chris Niedenthal is a renowned British-Polish photojournalist best known for documenting life behind the Iron Curtain and the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe. Following the imposition of martial law in Poland, Niedenthal was one of the few foreign photojournalists to capture the reality of the time for Western media, managing to smuggle many of his photos abroad. His work has been featured on the covers of Newsweek, Time Magazine, and other leading media outlets. He is a recipient of the 1986 World Press Photo Prize of the Year. For more information, please visit our website. The exhibition will be on view from October 20 through November 20, 2024 at the Round Rock Public Library during the regular operating hours. Both the exhibition and accompanying events are made possible thanks to the generous support from Humanities Texas, UT Center of Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES), UT Center for European Studies, UT Harry Ransom Center, Consulate General of Poland in Houston, and Apolonia Catering.
