Picturing Health: Photographs by Teens in Central and Southern California
March 9, 2011
Picturing Health visually explores both the strengths and challenges of eight Central and Southern California communities as seen through the eyes of teens. Through a two-year project run by Venice Arts with the support of The California Endowment, 80 youth explored what they felt were barriers to a healthy life including trash-filled streets, lack of park space, teen pregnancy, and the presence of gangs. They also documented community heros, vibrant culture, friendship, and family. Please join us as we celebrate their achievements.
Opens March 12, with a reception and talk with several of the young artists from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Open through April 30, 2011.
