When: April 25th, 6:30pm – 8:30pm Reception and Gallery Review Where: Taller Puertorriqueño, 2600 North 5th Street, Philadelphia, Pa 19133 This PhotoVoice project involved nearly 40 local teenagers from HUNE, Providence Center and Esperanza, Inc., who were tasked with capturing things in their neighborhood that answered the question, “What helps or prevents you from being healthy in your community?”

The PhotoVoice exhibit, curated by teenage residents in the community, is an illustration of their perspective on health. We are extremely proud to debut their work as part of this exhibit being held on April 25th, 6:30pm- 8:30pm at Taller PR. We hope you can join us.
