The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) company on Monday launched a coffee table book titled “Panorama, a Portrait of Guyana” featuring pieces from the National Collection.
GINA said that the book features 68 pieces of art work done by Guyana’s renowned artists. GINA said it portrays the birth of Guyana and its way of life, independence, progress, rice, rebellions, festivals, landscape, culture, plays and love.
This $10M project, to be completed in three series, stems from a partnership between the Culture Ministry and the telephone company, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), for the printing and publishing of books last year.
