Crucial Stages of Havel's Life on View
Various segments of the Czech President Vaclav Havel's life between 1968-2000 have been captured on film by Oldrich Skacha, Havel's personal photographer for more than 30 years. Skacha's camera recorded the activities of independent intellectuals during the glorious Prague Spring of 1968, a short spell of freedom during the 40 years of communist rule in Czechoslovakia that was suppressed by Soviet tanks on August 21, 1968. The exhibition will be in three sections: the first section will deal with Mr. Havel during the events of August 1968, the second will cover the period of Charter 77, a human rights manifesto, and the third will focus on the president's life after 1989. The majority of photos date back to the 1970s, the most difficult period of Vaclav Havel's life.

The exhibition will be opened by Jozef Braun, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Turkey, and Prof. Ali Doğramacı in a ceremony on Tuesday, March 21 at 12:00 p.m. in the Exhibition Hall, Main Campus library. Everyone is welcome to attend. Be sure to sign your name on the guest book at the door!
