Bent But Not Broken Photography Exhibition

by Let's Talknews

On occasion of World Mental Health Day 2024, the “Bent But Not Broken Photography Exhibition” was organised at Norphei Art Gallery. 
World Mental Health, which happens every year on October 10, aims to raise global awareness about mental health issues and mobilize efforts to support mental well-being. The day serves to educate the public about mental illness, reduce stigma, and promote access to mental health resources and support. It’s a day to acknowledge the millions affected by mental health issues and to encourage people to prioritise their mental health
This year, in partnership with the United Association of Mongolian Photographers and Norphei Art Gallery the Bent but not Broken photography competition and resulting exhibition was organised for the occasion of World Mental Health Day (October 10) and comprises the photographs submitted to the competition. The subject matter of the photographs all touch upon and convey the topics of mental health, psychological well-being, methods of dealing and coping with mental health, and mental health issues seen in society. From the conception of this project, our team had the aim to reach and convey to a larger audience a wide and diverse range of perspectives on the above-mentioned topics. Thus the competition was open to anyone regardless of whether they were professional or amateur photographers.
As a result of our open call, we received over 100 photographic submissions from artists all over the world including South Korea, the People’s Republic of China, Hungary, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United States of America, and of course Mongolia. This variety of places of origin allowed for even more faceted interpretations of the main themes and coincided well with our goal of representing those from many different walks of life.
The exhibition features a range of styles of photography, from abstract to documentary. Many show an individual interpretation of mental health and related issues while others focus more upon current societal issues, which can and do affect the mental well-being of many. Despite the incredible work being enacted by activists, advocates, and mental health professionals the concept and topic of mental health stays largely stigmatized in many parts of the world. Bent but not Broken is a part of our contribution to destigmatizing and opening avenues for positive change, showcasing how mental health is an unavoidable and important part of our everyday lives.
Thus the goal of this exhibition is to emphasize and proudly proclaim that even though our mental health struggles may bend us, they do not break us. We can be bent, but we are not broken.

World Food Day 2022 – Mongolian Traditional Food Culture Exhibition at the National Museum of Mongolia

by news

The special exhibition entitled “Mongolian Traditional Food Culture” organized on occasion of World Food Day 2022 was held at the Special Exhibition Hall of the National Museum of Mongolia from October 14 to November 30, 2022.

The exhibition was organized in partnership with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Mongolia and the National Museum of Mongolia.

The exhibition was curated under 4 themes, which included “Crop Production”, “Meat and Game”, “Dairy”, and “Traditional Tea Culture” in addition to a section that reflected the archaeological development of Mongolian traditional food culture from the Bronze and Stone Ages onwards. The 4 themes were meant to correlate and correspond with the FAO’s 4 Betters, which each theme reflecting how its traditional aspects were either retained or impacted the 4 Betters in Mongolia’s current food and agricultural sector.

Artistically, the exhibition was curated under the theme “Leave no one behind”, which was emphasised through large quantities of artefacts and items that were either identical or similar. This was meant to reflect “abundance”, which Mongolia has traditionally been able to provide through their traditional food culture. Moreover, the idea of abundance correlating with the theme “Leave no one behind” was meant to show how if traditional aspects of Mongolian food culture was adopted or re-examined, it could offer potential means to address current issues, such as nutritional deficits and food security.

The exhibition received a minimum of 80-100 guests per day.
