Voices is an exhibition of photography and video depicting issues facing the youth of Kisumu, Kenya through their eyes. In a country notorious for corruption, in an area where HIV/AIDS, prostitution, rape, alcohol and substance abuse, discrimination, crime, poverty, and unemployment are among the first and most commonly mentioned issues by young people in community centers and schools, young people are forced to make life and death decisions on a daily basis. Using donated video and still camera equipment, these young people were given the opportunity to use creative expression through media to voice their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences.
