Connecting Cultures: Kids Across the World Attraction Details
Connecting Cultures: Kids Across the World
http://www.museum.upenn.edu
Award-winning photojournalist Joan S. Klatchko has spent the last 15 years traveling from Cambodia to Australia, from the Galapagos Islands to Uganda, in a photographic journey, not just to document cultural differences, but to explore the similarities that connect kids, cultures and countries across the world. This new exhibition of her photographs, plus edited video from some of her travels, features images of children, their families and friends organized by universal themes including play, education, healthcare, protection and family. Connecting Cultures links images of suburban American kids, Vietnamese refugees, Tibetan novice monks, Cambodian land-mine victims, Ugandan AIDS orphans, children of Borneo rainforest tribes, and Andean mountain dwellers in a way that celebrates the fundamental commonalities that connect all kids, from all cultures, across the world. First floor Merle Smith Gallery.
