IMC and National Geographic to host exhibition of young refugees’ photos
Last November, IMC and National Geographic organized a photography workshop for young refugees of war living in a camp in Northern Uganda. Four renowned National Geographic photographers instructed the kids, ages 12 through 20, in both the technical and the narrative aspects of documentary photography.
The results of their efforts—60 powerful photographs on the subject of home and displacement—will be on display at the National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall from Thursday, May 17 to Monday, September 3. “Photo Camp 2006: Uganda” coincides with World Refugee Day on June 20, and aims to educate the public about the struggles of African refugees. An identical exhibit will be displayed at Oxo Tower Wharf in London from June 14 to July 1. |
