Balgarianovinite.com A photo exhibition by journalist Marina Velikova, titled “Antarctic Echo”, opened in front of the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) building here on Monday. The exhibition presents photographs taken during the three latest Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions. It will remain on display until July 7. BNR Director General Milen Mitev, the President of the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, Prof. Christo Pimpirev, and BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, attended the opening.
On behalf of BTA, Valchev congratulated Velikova and recalled that the agency has been posting its own correspondents to Antarctica for the past four years during the expeditions of the Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421), maintains a national press club on board the vessel and, thanks to Bulgarian Antarctic Institute head Prof. Christo Pimpirev, also has a presence at the Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingston Island.
For his part, Prof. Christo Pimpirev stated that Velikova’s stay in Antarctica has changed her professional career and has focused attention on people who work there. Pimpirev acknowledged the presence of members of different generations in the Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions and the people who backed the mission throughout the years. He stressed the importance of the participation of artists and journalists in the Bulgarian expeditions. “Ours is probably one of the few expeditions that stake on art people and media people joining us on the Ice Continent. Without relaying what we feel to people who are unable to go there, without showing the faces of the people who make Bulgaria an Antarctic nation in those harsh conditions, we couldn’t have made this achievement,” the professor argued.
Mitev said that the BNR has found a natural way to be present in Antarctica through the work of journalist Marina Velikova. He pointed out that although radio is traditionally associated with sound, modern media increasingly combine different forms of storytelling. The Director General linked the exhibition’s theme to the human drive for exploration and the pushing of known boundaries and added that through Velikova, BNR had “set foot in Antarctica”.
