From 21 January to 11 February, the Ljubljana City Hall will host the first travelling photography exhibition "A Different Life", which shows the stories of people with disabilities through the lens of renowned photographer Primož Lavret. The exhibition is part of the project "National Awareness Raising Campaign for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities", which is organised by the National Council of Disabled People's Organisations of Slovenia (NDPO Slovenia), and partnered by the Urban Institute of the Republic of Slovenia (UIRS) and other providers.The exhibition is part of the project "National Awareness Raising Campaign for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities".
The concept of the exhibition is a continuation of Lavret's 2016 project Nothing Different Mum, in which he portrayed mothers of children with special needs. This time, he has invited 25 individuals with various forms of disabilities who are successful in sport, work and other activities to stand in front of his lens. Each photograph was taken in an environment where these people work and create, and carries a powerful message about life without limits.
You are cordially invited to visit the exhibition, which will be a special opportunity to learn about life stories that break down prejudices and strengthen understanding of diversity, perseverance and courage.
As Primož Lavre says: "It is admirable how many people overcome challenges and live life to the full. Their stories are the inspiration I want to share."
