Pictures of Life

An exhibition of black and white photographs made by young people from the Mura Lanyon Youth and Community Centre.

A YWCA of Canberra Youth Worker, was inspired by a documentary about kids in Calcutta’s red light district to get some of Canberra’s more disadvantaged kids involved in photography.

Young people accessing the YWCA’s SCOPE Youth Services at the Mura Lanyon Youth & Community Centre worked with help from PhotoAccess who provided their resources and taught the kids photography and the process of black and white film development and printing.

The result is an amazing body of work “Pictures of Life” which is on display at The Photography Room and is a reflection of the kids’ experience of living in the Lanyon area.

The participants demonstrated great enthusiasm and dedication to the eight-week course and benefitted greatly from photography as a way of expressing their emotions and doing something they wouldn’t normally be able to do.

Pictures of Life will officially open at 6pm, Monday 23 January 2012. All welcome.
