Margaret Harvey Gallery, St Albans, 30th March 2010
On 30th March 2010 I curated a fundraising evening with Finola McManus in aid of Zamcog. The evening featured artwork painted by the children of Shitima, and photographs I took on my recent trip to Zambia. The photographs are expressive portraits of the children and the community in which they live. They symbolise both the hope and the despair that these children wake up to every day.
“Zamcog’s mission is to help the street kids and orphaned children in Zambia. The courage and tenacity of these children is overwhelming; they often are looking after themselves either on the street or within compounds from as young as the age of seven. Yet in many ways they are like any other child – they want to go to school, they want to eat and play, and they dream of their future.”
