Visual Voices 2023 Photography Exhibition at San Nicolas

(Oranjestad)—Visual Voices Photography is a project
that originated in the afterschool program known as Y’s
CARE of the YMCA of Aruba. This project started in 2019
at the YMCA in San Nicolas, but, unfortunately, due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, it had been put on hold for two
years. Thankfully, the project was reactivated last year
by the enthusiastic efforts of the Y’s CARE Supervisor, Ms.
Inki Geerman.

For 2023, Visual Voices Photography will host the youth
again, a group between the ages of ten through eleven
years are coming with a state of art exhibition of how
they see the world trough the lens of their camera.

A total of twenty-four photographs are chosen to be dis-
played in the exhibition, which will be held in the ArtisA
Gallery in San Nicolas.

Each piece showcases the participants’ exploration of
their community through the viewfinder, this under the di-
rection of renown Canadian photographer, Randy Buller-
well.

The students learned the technical aspects of photogra-
phy as they developed their own perspective and cre-
ative style.

The exhibition will be showcased In ArtisA Gallery in the
Promenade San Nicolas, Saturday 29th of April, from
07:00 pm – 09:00 pm. Come and join us in to the magi-
cal world of these youngsters, showing the images of this
talented group of students as they share their inspiration
behind the images they have captured!

And once again, much like every year, a warm thank you
to Tito Bolivar and the ArtisA Team for making this expo
happen and hosting our group.q
