War Toys is honored to be exhibiting at the PhotoVille Festival, opening June 3rd in Brooklyn. Now in its 12th year, PhotoVille showcases impactful work by photographers from around the world. The festival features over 80 public art exhibitions, inspirational walking tours, in-depth panels, and interactive workshops.
Our installation, housed inside a shipping container in Brooklyn Bridge Park, will highlight War-Toys collaborations from 2011-2022 with children from Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip. Brian McCarty will be there opening weekend to talk about the work and invite viewers to understand war from a new perspective—as a child, for whom the “bad guy" is whoever is shooting at them.
