Broken Buenos Aires – The City In Cross-Light

Another view: lets explore the possibility of removing the stigma that is attached to “living in a slum” (or “villa de emergencia”) – the poorest neighborhoods of the city. Think of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, or the bustees of Bombay. In the workshops of the PH15 Foundation, kids and teenagers – aged between 9 and 25 years old – try to find a way of playing with light. They learn how to handle a camera, and to take photos that can be used as an expression of their reality – taken from their own perspectives. At the crossroad of this city, culture can also speak about forgotten people. Where creativity can lead to social inclusion; the stories of those kids who also learned about pride, prejudice, and prefabricated political scenes.
