The photos in the exhibition of “Khorram Shahr, Epic of Resistance”? are the most expressive photos of contemporary history of Khoramshahr. But they lack photos of Khoramshahr martyrs, Ali-Reza Afshar, Cultural and Defending Promotions Deputy of Armed Forces Headquarters said. He said: “The photos in the exhibition of “Khoramshahr, Epic of Resistance”? are the most expressive photos of contemporary history of Iran and Khoramshahr. But they lack photos of martyrs such as Martyr Fahmideh, Martyr Jahan-Ara and other martyrs.”? The Photo Part of The Great Exhibition of Self Sacrifice Art is one of the most successful parts in the exhibition. That is because lots of efforts have been made to collect the photos. One of the other characteristics of the exhibition of “Khoramshahr, Epic of Resistance”? is the way photos have been categorized and located next together in the exhibition. Photos have been categorized based on three critic historical periods of time which leads to comparison and judge regarding this city, Ali-Reza Afshar added. It is a good idea to collect the photos of this exhibition in the form of an illustrated and comprehensive book so that every one, young generation in particular, can see the photos; because it contains fundamental symbols of resistance. It is also instructive for the youth, Afshar said. As for holding temporary exhibitions on the epic of the imposed war, Afshar said: “It is very good to honor important historical events such as May 24th and The Week of Holy War on their anniversaries; but it is very hard to find the audiences in such occasions. People may not have the chance to visit such exhibitions due to lack of vast advertisement in the city, lack of enough space for such exhibitions, far distance and also everyday businesses; so it would be better that officials hold permanent good exhibitions such as “Khoramshahr, Epic of Resistance”? on all days of the year rather than holding such exhibitions on the occasion of the anniversary of those events. This way the culture of resistance and self sacrifice will be disseminated during the year. And it will not be limited to some particular days.”? Officials and managers of different foundations should know the fact that it is the duty of all of us to cooperate with cultural and art departments. Disseminating culture of resistance will directly affect not only on art, but also on every aspect of Iranian people’s lives such as economic, politic, society, etc, Ali-Reza Afshar, Cultural and Defending Promotions Deputy of Armed Forces Headquarters concluded.
