Based in Coventry, UK they have accumulated a wide experience of unconventional creative projects and are supported by Arts Council, England and the local authority.<br />The exhibition <strong>Other Coventry < > Other Volgograd</strong>, which was part of the “ Twin tones ” festival, took place in October- November 2006 at the </span><a href="http://www.theherbert.org/index.htm"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Herbert art gallery</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> - at the </span><a href="http://www.theherbert.org/visiting/gettingHere.pdf"><span style="font-family:verdana;">cultural heart </span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">of Coventry. </span><div><div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">Its mirror image occurred at the Volgograd Museum of fine arts in February 2007. The opening was timed to coincide with the anniverary of the fascist surrender at Stalingrad. Both twinned cities, Russian and English, suffered greatly during the World War II.<br /><br /><strong>Идея переплести схожие сюжеты двух фотографов из двух городов-побратимов пришла в беседе с </strong></span><a href="http://www.talkingbirds.co.uk/index.htm"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Дереком Нисбетом и Жанет Воган</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>, которые у себя в Британии, в Ковентри, накопили большой опыт творческих нестандартных проектов и при этом располагают ощутимой поддержкой Совета Искусств Англии и местных властей.<br />Выставка «Другой Ковентри – другой Волгоград» (Other Coventry <> Other Volgograd) в рамках фестиваля городов-побратимов “Twin tones” прошла в октябре-ноябре 2006 года в </strong></span><a href="http://www.theherbert.org/index.htm"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>галерее Herbert</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong> – культурном центре Ковентри.<br />Ее зеркальный вариант воплотился в Волгоградском музее изобразительных искусств в феврале 2007 года. Открытие было приурочено к дате разгрома фашистов под Сталинградом.
