Our pal Sarah Kelly and her organization Adapting to Scarcity spent part of last year hanging out in La Huizachera (outside of Guadalajara, MX) with kids like Mauro here, taking pictures and making videos. Tonight, some of their work is showcased at ATA:
These children live along a polluted canal that carries untreated human and industrial waste away from Guadalajara. The state of the canal deeply affects the health of the community. IMDEC, the Mexican Institute for Community Development, has been working weekly with the children in the community to educate them about the environment. They gave digital point-and-shoot cameras to the kids, taught them to use them and have been helping them capture their perspectives and their neighborhood. The phenomenal and moving photos were shot, selected and titled by the children.
The fun runs from 7-10pm.
