Children aged 9-11 living in the Baarsjes in Amsterdam took photographs of their life environment with a theme of peace on their mind. Two photographers, Roberto Rizzo and Lars Keppel, guided them through techniques and how to express a feeling.
The result is an amazing exibition of pictures of a neighbourhood that through the eyes of these young photographers is totally different from what adults in the media daily show about it.
The exibition of 43 pictures started in Gallery WitterdanWit, than was gfollowed up in the Library and at the Art Gallery of KPMG, now it is shown till the 1st of July at the Stadsdeel office.
