Photography promoted as a medium of expression for children with special needs

Photography is the best medium of expression, especially for children with special needs. With a little push these children can do wonders. Drushya-Kaavya (visual poem), a project to reach out to the children with disabilities through the medium of photography, is doing all that it can to give them an opportunity to express themselves.

A joint initiative by Abhivyakthi and Bangalore Photography Club, Drushya-Kaavya joined hands with 28 children with hearing disability from R.V. Integrated School and conducted a photography workshop recently. According to a press release from the organizers, during the workshop, the children learnt the basics of photography through theory and practical lessons and later on were sent out to take pictures of life and world surrounding them.

Drushya-Kaavya is now holding an exhibition of the photographs taken by these children at R.V. Integrated School, in front of Lalbagh West Gate in the city on January 30 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., the release said.

Abhivyakthi and Bangalore Photography Club have come together with the objective of creating photography as a medium of expression for children with disabilities. The project is dedicated to undertake photography workshops for the joy and happiness of children and to encourage photography as a possible career option, the release said.

The project aims at promoting the work of these children through exhibitions, calendars, greeting cards and coffee table books and so on and share all the proceeds generated with NGOs working for children with disabilities, the release added.
