On 16 June 2007, thanks to Ms. Cres Yulo for the update, 19 June 2007, Foto Baryo will feature the collaborative work of students and teachers in a photography exhibit entitled, Natural Lang at the Blank Space Gallery in Manila. This is the climax of an intensive five-month workshop conducted by Emily Schiffer, a Fulbright scholar and New York native.

Natural Lang celebrates the honesty of introspections and interactions at Tropical Palace. The project captures the natural ability of children to embrace love, fear, pain, and joy, unimpeded by mental and emotional boundaries that adults set. It also parallels the experiences of the students as they learned photography and immersed themselves within the community, that the audience may share their clarity of vision.

“For us, the images are not about poverty; that would be superficial,” shares Emily. “They’re about these children as individuals. We hope that people will appreciate the complexity of their situation, and the elements that come into play in their lives.”
