The Konschthaus “Beim Engel” in Rue de la Loge shows an exciting photography project until December, where children and teenagers from impoverished neigbourhoods in Buenos Aires were given cameras to capture their everyday lives, giving a whole new perspective on slum life and a new meaning to street art.
