PUTTING A FACE ON POVERTY




amazing and ambitious work from artist jr, called "women are heros".  this project covers 2000 square meters of slum shacks in kenya.  the shacks are covered with photos of eyes, mouth, and faces of women in the village.  i like it because it recognizes the strength of the women upholding the villages.  

there were so many more photos of his i wanted to post but i'll leave it at these for the sake of brevity. just don't be surprised if you see more of his work up here, the works are really amazing.
