A new photographic exhibition opens at The Harbour Arm Gallery in Margate on3rd July documenting the changing lives of 7 teenage Roma women.The exhibition presents work from a photographic project involving collaboration between young Roma women, photographer Manuela Zanotti and Jacob Garber of The Children’s Society. The work centres on developing audio-visual archives of the East London Roma community through self-portraits, voice recordings and documentation of personal circumstances.Professional photographer Manuela Zanotti mentored the young people over several months as they captured the everyday life of their families. The resulting self portraits are part of an essential record for the Roma community living in East London. The documentation is to be included as part of the long term project ‘Call the Witness’ at the 2nd Roma Pavilion, for the Venice Biennale in 2011.
