For two weeks in mid-November, the United Nations exhibited a display of photographs of the city and fortress of Bam in Iran, devastated by the earthquake there in December 2003. Subject matter of the one hundred photographs, of which approximately 30 were on display at any given time and regularly rotated, ranged from the citadel before and after destruction to struggles of post-destruction life and the work of international rescue teams. The American Institute of Iranian Studies subsidized the exhibition, co-sponsored by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, the Iranian Academy of Arts and the International Society for Iranian Culture (based in New York). Plans are underway to mount the exhibit at the Library of Congress.
