From Nairobi, Kenya to New Haven’s most upscale hotel, a new photography exhibition offers a glimpse into adolescence in Africa’s largest slums.
The Kibera Photo Project, directed by Tegan Bukowski ARC ’13, is the result of a photography workshop aimed to help children from Nairobi’s Kibera Slums, intended to help them think through the concepts of peace, community and togetherness in the aftermath of the nation’s extreme violence in 2006. Representatives from The Study at Yale, where the exhibit was installed Oct. 23, say the exhibit will in turn encourage visitors to consider a level of daily poverty they would not otherwise experience.
