Photo shoot in New flats

In the past few weeks we had a few students joining our photography classes and then we had to teach them a little bit of theory before we can go out to take pictures. For this photo shoot we chose an area in Langa called New flats. I was really happy with what we came back with, and here are a few picture from the photoshoot.

Exhibition in Museum of Photography in Stockholm

On the 27th August we held an exhibition at the Museum of Photography in Stockholm, displaying “Langa: Life Through My Eyes”, a six week project made by the photography class at Project Playground.

SALSS, Swedish American Life Science Summit, is an annual conference held in Stockholm where, during three days, doctors, corporate representatives and scientists meet to discuss new innovative ways to develop products related to social and economic development in the world.

During the final day of the summit, the organizer, Barbro Enbohm, had invited us to give a presentation of Project Playground in combination with the exhibition. To us, this was an amazing opportunity, not only to share our visions and work, but also because we got the chance to present it to individuals who we really admire and respect, among these, Dr. Hans Rosling.

The day was unforgettable, and the kids’ photos were a success.
