Following on from the success of Photo Exhibits in Washington, DC this year, Santo Domingo and Santiago last year, a hugely popular Expo showcasing images from the picture book, “New Perspectives: Dominican Republic” is traveling to the Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
The exhibit will display a selection of 100 photo images documenting the country’s beautiful and varied landscapes.
The Photo Exhibit, which runs from July 16th to August 30th at Playa Dorada Golf Club, is keenly supported by Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, and forms part of GFDD/FUNGLODE’s overall goal to promote the DR, disseminate information about the country, as well as strengthen appreciation and respect for its culture and ecological heritage.
Created by Editor in Chief, Natasha Despotovic, “New Perspectives: Dominican Republic” is a masterly compiled 300 page bilingual English-Spanish publication comprised of nearly 400 aerial images. The book’s photographer, Anne Casale, will be on hand at the inaugural reception, at the Playa Dorada Golf club on July 16th at 6 PM to discuss her work in presenting the Dominican Republic in a brand new light.
Advanced copies can be purchased online at: Dominicanaonline.org All proceeds go to help protect DR’s rich biodiversity through GFDD’s environment projects.
This summer, the Photo Exhibit continues to promote the DR internationally, and is slated to open in United Nations, New York
