Ghana Youth and First Exposures art opening at SF Camerawork

Last night I checked out the opening for”United in Nima: Bay Area and Ghanaian Youth Share Lives Through the Lens” at SF Camerawork.  I do some mentoring in First Exposures so this opening had a personal connection and it was amazing to see the work the mentees did while in Ghana.  The show is up at Camerawork until March 25th so stop by and check it out if you can.

Here’s the official write up:

Ghana Youth Voices opening at SF Camerawork

An exhibition based on a unique photographic and cultural exchange between
youth photographers from SF Camerawork’s First Exposures photography
mentoring program and teens living in the notoriously poor Nima slum of
Accra, Ghana who spent three weeks together last summer in Africa sharing
their lives, culture, and art. This project was created as part of Adobe Youth
Voices, a global youth media initiative. To learn more, please visit
