Photo Exhibition – “10 Years in Focus”
On 22 March, the “10 Years in Focus” exhibition was opened at Gori Art House, offering a compelling visual narrative of Georgia’s most significant historical moments over the past decade. Featuring works by photojournalists, awarded by the EU Prize for Journalism, the exhibition reflects the resilience, challenges, and triumphs of Georgia and its people.
The exhibition also features pictures highlighting the work of the EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM), which has been contributing to peace and stability in Georgia for 16 years. The collaboration between the EU Prize for Journalism and EUMM is a natural one—EUMM has long supported journalists through the prize, and this exhibition further strengthens that partnership. It stands as yet another example of the EU’s deep and lasting commitment to Georgia.
“The EU is proud to support independent journalism and cultural spaces like Art House Gori. Culture and creativity is not just about expression—it is about giving a voice to communities, preserving culture, and creating dialogue. We want to ensure these voices continues to be heard in Georgia—loud and clear—for many years to come.”.”— Zane Rungule, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Georgia.
“For over 16 years, EUMM has been present in Georgia, with one of our three Field Offices located in Gori. We are honoured to contribute to this exhibition with photographs that offer a glimpse into the daily efforts of our Mission and the people behind it.” – Jessica Rothmann, Head of Field Office Gori of the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM).
“We are especially thrilled to host this exhibition at the Gori Art House, a space renovated with the support of the European Union and recognized as a key hub for safeguarding freedom of expression and creative freedom. As you know, the Art House has endured persistent attacks over the past five months, making it even more meaningful to come together here in celebration of the values that unite us – resilience, dignity, freedom—deeply intertwined with our story and the stories this exhibition seeks to tell.”— Otar Gvritishvili, Chairman of the Gori Photographers’ Club
