Upcoming Conference & Exhibition in São Paulo:

“Visible Rights: Photography for and by Youth”

December 7-9, 2006 - São Paulo, Brazil

Centro Universitário Senac – Campus Santo Amaro

Working with artists, educators, child rights advocates, and scholars, “Visible Rights: Photography for and by Youth” will explore the role that photography can play in facilitating children’s agency and promoting their rights by placing cameras in the hands of youth, giving them the power of self-representation. The goal for the conference is to identify best practices among practitioners and scholars; to promote synergies in a network of collaborations, publications, workshops, and internships; and to encourage intervention through creative, non aggressive practices.

Speakers will include faculty from Harvard, Duke, Brown, Boston College, NYU, Universidad Autónoma de México, Senac, and USP, as well as NGO pioneers from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand and the United States.  

This Cultural Agents conference is supported by the Lemann Fund of the Harvard University Brazil Studies Program at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS), the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Centro Universitário Senac, UNESCO, and UNICEF.
