A visual anthropology project by C\u0103t\u0103lin D. Constantin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening:<\/strong> Saturday, 25 October 2025<\/strong>, at 1:00 p.m.<\/strong>
Venue:<\/strong> Dumitru I. Grum\u0103zescu Galleries<\/em>, 24 Alexandru L\u0103pu\u0219neanu Street, Ia\u0219i, Romania<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Municipality of Ia\u0219i and Peter Pan ART are pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition \u201cBeyond Yesterday. An Anthropological Journey through the Balkans in the Footsteps of the Manakia Brothers, 1900\u201d, a visual anthropology project by C\u0103t\u0103lin D. Constantin. The opening event will take place on Saturday, 25 October 2025, at 1:00 p.m., at the Dumitru I. Grum\u0103zescu Galleries<\/em>, as an open dialogue with the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the turn of the 20th century, brothers Ianaki and Milton Manakia documented, through their photographs, the life of Vlach communities in Macedonia and Epirus. More than a century later, C\u0103t\u0103lin D. Constantin retraced the Manakia brothers\u2019 route, re-creating the same scenes from the same vantage points. The exhibition \u201cBeyond Yesterday\u201d brings together historical photographs from the archives of the Romanian Peasant Museum and contemporary images taken by the author, forming a visual dialogue about cultural memory, identity, and the profound transformations of the Balkan world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was not interested merely in re-creating the old photographs with the same framing. It was rather a way of entering the isolated communities of the Balkans, of seeing their way of life \u2014 today, not yesterday. How much have the Balkans changed in the past hundred years?
This is the question that concerns me. Photography has proven to be an exceptionally useful tool for field research \u2014 a road leading toward an understanding of how small worlds and isolated communities transform under the pressure of history. It is, anthropologically speaking, a way of describing the course of our own history, here, at home, in the Balkans.\u201d (C\u0103t\u0103lin D. Constantin)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is part of a broader series of visual research dedicated to reconstructing the Balkan cultural heritage of the early 20th century. The exhibition has previously been presented in Greece, in Metsovo and Ioannina \u2014 where the Manakia brothers opened their first photographic studio \u2014 in Bitola and at the National Gallery in Skopje (Republic of North Macedonia), in Kor\u00e7\u00eb (Albania), and at the Romanian Peasant Museum in Bucharest.
It will continue its itinerary later this year in Istanbul and Ankara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u0103t\u0103lin D. Constantin is an anthropologist, book editor, and associate professor at the Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest. He has held exhibitions in Romania, Spain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Poland, Greece, Albania, Ireland, Italy, North Macedonia, and Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
