Collective Lens: Photography for Social Change

wimbi - the wave, is collecting children's water-photography from all over the planet exhibiting it, worldwide, to identify the problems and conflicts arising from a rapidly growing number of people sharing an ever shrinking reservoir of water.

the pictures were taken with pinhole- and disposable cameras by kids, who photographically document and artistically describe the water, or lack of water surrounding them. the children are between 11 and 16 years old and come from various cultural and social backgrounds.

all participating students take part in extracurricular classes about the basics of photography.
