This is one of the exhibition rooms within the 180 Studio gallery. They have just opened a new exhibition of the work of Gabriel Moses Selah. The exhibition runs till 27th July. It consists of 70 photographs and 10 films with a few sculptures thrown in for good measure. Pumping music throughout. A lively exhibition I can recommend. It could be seen at the same time as the Sony World photography awards exhibition at Somerset House just down the road, that will be opening shortly…..
For me, I saw this exhibition just before going to the Goya exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery which is close by. They could not be artistically further apart! I think I was still vibrating from the music of the first exhibition…..Couldn’t be clearer for me. I will be revisiting Gabriel Moses Selah!
Have a good day out there…..
Vanellus novaehollandiae. The Masked Lapwing family set up 'home' in my work's carpark. At the beginning and end of the day they spent their time aggressively defending their three chicks from children, parents and cars! Traffic cones were placed to try and protect them but the chicks are starting to wander so my very brave boss, Lil, relocated the 3 chicks to a grassy strip beside the building. The parents complained loudly and swooped but have accepted the move. Then 2 of the chicks wandered under the gate and into the backyard! So we couldn't let the children play until brave Lil moved them back to their new grassy home and blocked their access under the gate. The parents complained loudly & dive-bombed us, but hopefully they're all settled now! Phew!
I didn't think I was going to have a photo to submit to the "Looking Close... on Friday!" group this week until we stepped in for childcare duties due to the Teacher's strike yesterday. I noticed that my granddaughter was wearing a suitable pair, so I managed to make my way under the kitchen island to capture her feet (without showing how dirty the soles were!). My grandson then thought his socks would make a good subject if he lay on his back by the glass door and held his feet up against the sky - but he wiggled them far too much to keep them in frame, and they were just grey school socks so far too dull!

Unfortunately I forgot to note the VIN on this unit, sorry.
New research by ODI uncovers a global childcare crisis, with at least 35 million young children left home alone. With more women entering the workforce, mothers often face impossible choices – with many leaving their countries, and often their dependent children, to find work elsewhere.
Elizabeth says she has struggled, but she has not given up. She carries on working to make sure her daughter and family have a better future.

Elizabeth plans to bring her youngest daughter, Melanie, to live in Spain. Melanie, 14, has arteriosclerosis. Elizabeth is already renting an extra room for her, which is a huge expense.
To get Melanie into Spain, she had to take a DNA test to prove that she was her daughter. That cost 500 Euros – a whole month's wages.
'My son is now studying medicine at university. The university is free, but he needs books, money to travel, food, so I'm doing everything I can to help him. He took care of the girls because was the oldest. One of the girls is studying electrical engineering and wants to go to Spain, another is studying accounting, and the third one has been diagnosed with a disease that has no cure, I don't know what to do.'

'I would rather be poor, very poor, and my daughter [Melanie] was OK.'
Renting a spare room for Melanie is expensive, but Elizabeth thinks it is worth it. If all goes well, she says, Melanie will be in Spain in one month.
Yet Elizabeth is already poor, with work only available a few hours a week. For the last eight years she has worked in cleaning and caring for older people and children. She says she has been taken advantage of, for example by an employer who made her work on Christmas Day without pay.

Feeding the little ones seems not of much use: less than a minute later the cry for hunger sounds again! // Het lijkt niet veel zin te hebben de jongkies te voeren: na minder dan 'n minuut klinkt alweer het geroep van honger!
On her way to the non-governmental organisation that is helping Elizabeth find work, she stops by the fruit stall to greet the seller. She knows her neighbours well and generally gets along with everyone.

Village Baram, Block Namkum, District Ranchi, Jharkhand, India..Anganwadi worker prepares to inject Hepatitis - B Vaccine to a child at Anganwadi centre during the counseling on health and nutrition in Namkum. Anganwadi worker in every targeted village teams up with a small group of local resource people who are then given a basic training in nutrition, childcare and hygiene. Once trained, the team visits pregnant women and mothers of newborns in their homes to educate them about safe delivery, breastfeeding, immunisation, and other essential care practices during pregnancy and early childhood UNICEF is prioritizing reducing the high malnutrition and child mortality rates, and reaching out to millions of families in Jharkhand to address these concerns. The Dular strategy, which trains village women to counsel new mothers about breastfeeding and proper nutrition, is a successful approach that is already expected to prevent about one quarter of newborn deaths and save the lives of thousands of older babies and children. The Dular initiative is of particular importance to tribal children who are most vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and education disparities, as prejudice, isolation and misunderstanding make it difficult for these families to access services.

Over the last eight years, Elizabeth has been studying towards a number of qualifications in the hope that she will get a better job. So far, she has not – most migrants are hired in domestic service, especially in Spain.
However, Elizabeth is hardworking and optimistic, and continues to study when she can.
'I've often been humiliated in Spain. When I didn't have papers, people offered me almost nothing to clean houses and work, and I couldn't say anything. I had no rights. But I had to bear everything, who otherwise would maintain my children?'
'I'm now unemployed, don't know what to do. I'm a hard worker, but can't find any jobs.'
