"CHILDREN: PERSONAL SPACE". Nikita Shokhov. Exhibition in the gallery "Peresvetov Lane" Automatic translate

December 4, in the gallery "Peresvetov Pereulok" of the Association "Exhibition Halls of Moscow" the exhibition of Nikita Shokhov was opened as part of the project "Children: personal space"

“Children: personal space” is a social project whose goal is to draw the attention of Russian society to the life of children. The world of childhood must be safe, secure, comfortable. Is he like that today? - photos of Nikita Shokhov and Olya Ivanova tell about this.

The heroes of these photos were 43 children living near the "Gallery of the XXI century" and the gallery "Peresvetov Pereulok". Children let photographers into their private lives, allowing them to rent their children’s rooms and corners and answering a number of questions regarding their relationship to their surroundings. Photographers were interested in the way of thinking, dreams and values ​​of their heroes and, of course, the influence exerted on the formation of the personality of children by their parents and the media.

The result of the shooting and interview was the material exhibited at the exhibitions of the project "Children: Personal Space". His analysis is of undoubted interest for sociologists and psychologists, as well as for all concerned people, because he introduces the society in nuances and details to the new younger generation of Russia, that is, to our imminent future.

At the opening day in the gallery "Peresvet Lane" Mitya Nesterov, photographer and researcher introduced the DJ set.

The opening of the next part of the project - the exhibition of Oli Ivanova in the “Gallery of the XXI Century” will be held on December 9 at 17:00
