The exhibition "As They See Us. A Portrait of Russia by the Magnum Agency" is being organised in cooperation with Magnum Photos, and jointly with curator and photo historian Nina Gomiashvili. It will cover the period from 1947 to 2020, and provide an insight into the USSR/Russia through the work of legendary documentary photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Eve Arnold, Thomas Dworzak and others.

In total, the exhibition will feature more than 250 images, many of which will be on public display for the first time.

Usually, the agency offers museums and cultural institutions pre-curated exhibitions which go on tour. This time however, Manege has spearheaded an initiative to put together a completely new cultural project focusing on Russia, using the archives of Magnum Photos and the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Featured photographers: Christopher Anderson, Eve Arnold, Bruno Barbey, Jonas Bendiksen, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cornell Capa, Robert Capa, Raymond Depardon, Bieke Depoorter, Carolyn Drake, Thomas Dworzak, Elliott Erwitt, Martine Franck, Stuart Franklin, Bruce Gilden, Burt Glinn, Philip Jones Griffiths, Harry Gruyaert, Nanna Heitmann, Thomas Hoepker, Carl De Keyzer, Alex Majoli, Constantine Manos, Peter Marlow, Steve McCurry, Inge Morath, Martin Parr, Paolo Pellegrin, Chris Steele-Perkins, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Mark Power, Marc Riboud, Ferdinando Scianna, Marilyn Silverstone, Jacob Aue Sobol, Newsha Tavakolian, Nicolas Tikhomiroff, Larry Towell, Alex Webb.
