Whether it's helping children living with cancer to develop their creative voices, using photography to introduce and keep children engaged in the education process, teaching photography as a useful, empowering and employable skill or seeking to provide a record of a living form of photography on the brink of disappearing - their work depends on continuing public involvement and support. Developing Change was curated out of the belief that photography can and does promote the power and beauty of humanitarian aid, however difficult the subject matter. The images presented in this exhibition reflect more than just an observed moment.
They communicate each organisation's mission and accomplishments, as well as the talent and unique point of view of the individuals and communities they serve. We celebrate these eleven organisations by raising awareness of the urgency of their causes and the positive effects of their efforts. Selected works created by the member artists of each organisation will be on display and available for purchase during this two week exhibition. The images in this exhibition are varied in subject matter; from whimsical to serious, from nature to nurture - all challenging the viewer to value the art of photography and the myriad of purposes it serves for each of these organisations.
