Caroline Irby’s Exhibition: A Child From Everywhere ~ London, UK
Photographer Caroline Irby spent one year tracking down a child born in every country in the world that now resides in the United Kingdom. She found children from 185 of the world’s 192 nations, photographed and interviewed each one of them. Her resulting photographic book, A Child from Everywhere, features the children sharing their thoughts on leaving their countries of origin, their hopes for their new lives in the UK and their observations of cultural differences.
A selection of Irby’s photographs along with a series of short films that she made of her interviews with the children is on exhibit until August 30th at the V&A Museum of Childhood, London, UK. Entry to the museum and exhibit is free.
Stay tuned to PaperTigers as we will have an interview with Caroline in our upcoming August/September issue and she will also be guest blogging here on our blog!
