Nashua Public Library To Host Youth Photography Exhibit Wednesday

NASHUA, NH —The Nashua Public Library will be hosting a one-day photography exhibit next week featuring work from local middle-school-aged children.

The 6th annual PhotoVoice Gallery will be on display from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the library, located at 2 Court Street. The project is sponsored by the City of Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services (DCS).

The theme of this year's event is "Who/what makes you resilient?"

PhotoVoice is a worldwide program that allows individuals to explore important topics within a community and express themselves through photography.

According to project organizers, the goals of PhotoVoice are to: enable youth participants to record and reflect their community's strengths and concerns, to promote critical dialogue about community issues and to provide a visual representation of community experiences within a public health context, while engaging policymakers and stakeholders.

"The project allows youth to break past communication barriers that often prevent them from expressing their concerns," organizers said in a statement.

PhotoVoice is supported locally by the Nashua Police Athletic League, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua, Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley, and Nashua 21st Century.

Information about the program is available on the City of Nashua website.
