I MATTER / I am human
Children's voices matter and the camera is a perfect way to help children express themselves. I MATTER, an international portrait exhibition by Chicago/Oslo-based CASE Art Fund, features photographs of children throughout the world stating they matter.
Please join CASE co-founder Anette Skuggedal, and Hanan Ashegh, Executive Director and founder of Goodwill Caravan, a London / Greece-based nonprofit that provides vulnerable populations with a safe place to call home. They will talk about how they raise awareness about children’s human rights through photography. Muddassar Ahmed, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former Independent Advisor to the UK government on Muslim communities, will moderate the talk.
