Conexión Argentina: Ph15

We were recently fortunate to be able to meet up with Emma Hodson, who has been working with ph15 in Argentina. The foundation work with some of the most disadvantaged people in the city of Buenos Aires, who live in the "Ciudad Oculta", literally meaning "hidden city" and 2 other areas of the city.

ph15 is formed by a group of photographers that believe in education through visual arts and the use of art as a means of social inclusion.


We will be supporting this work from Hacienda Los Olivos when we are open and also looking at some creative ways to promote this work in the local area in Spain. ph15 have created some great videos about the work they are doing in the slums, which you can see here (the video is a couple of years old, and some of the people in it no longer connected with the project).

Hace unas semanas tuvimos la suerte de encontrarnos con Emma Hodson, una de las voluntarias de ph15 en Buenos Aires. Esta fundación trabaja con jóvenes de uno de los suburbios más pobres de la capital, Ciudad Oculta.

La fundación ph15 está formada por fotógraf@s que creen en la formación humana a través de las artes visuales y en el uso del arte como medio de inclusión social.

Hacienda Los Olivos se ha comprometido a apoyar la labor de esta fundación en Argentina, tanto a través de nuestras vacaciones fotográficas, como promocionando su trabajo en el sur de España.
