Voices of Children is a travelling photographic exhibition that draws on the images and text that children have constructed. Different personal and cultural perspectives are depicted through the use of images and words generated by children from 6 to 14 years of age. The children used disposable cameras to capture images of their everyday experiences and provided brief written responses to questions about themselves, their families and their views of the world. Selected photographs and text were then converted to large digital images, multiple displays and some static framed images for the travelling exhibition. To date exhibitions have been held in Australia and Thailand with plans underway for an exhibition in October 2006 in the USA.
