Photo exhibition of forced labour children photographers
by Maryam Mokhberi 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hello all, On behalf of Bahar Charity Student Group, I am pleased to invite you all to the art exhibition "Labour of Passion" <https://www.facebook.com/events/1555910974553722/>, where we will showcase the photographs taken by forced labour children photographers. Together we will acknowledge their art and send them our support for fighting towards a brighter future. Please gather your friends and join us on Friday, 2019 Apr 12 in Hart House, East Common Room. The Exhibition is on from 5:30 to 9:30 pm. You can find the poster and more details about the children below. It would be great if you could circulate this email in other mailing lists and departments too! *"In the southern suburbs of Tehran, lies an underprivileged neighbourhood of Balouch immigrants. With hardly a roof over their heads, the children growing up here have had to work on the streets, day in and day out, often for a few generations. They have no access to education and no prospect of a better life in the future… that is until a couple of years ago.* *In 2016, volunteers of Imam Ali’s Popular Students Relief Society connected with these children and their families and started providing them with a basic education in the Society’s local centre in Shahre Rey. In addition, volunteer instructors of the Society have held art classes, including theatre and photography for these children. The labour children have proved exceptionally talented and thirsty to learn to express themselves through art. They went on to have a successful theatre performance and a photo exhibition in Tehran, both of which were received very well by the public and the art community. * *Starting from beginners’ photography classes with cell phones, several of these young artists pursued photography into more advanced classes. They are now involved in the Society’s events as photographers and hope to build this into a real career. We now have the pleasure of hosting an exhibition to share these photos for the second time outside Iran, after a successful experience in Vancouver.* *Please join us to celebrate their Labour of Passion!"* Looking forward to seeing you, Maryam
