Ana Palacios

The author immerses herself in the reality of the new Ugandan boys and girls and captures their nightmares and their dreams through photography, thus giving them the chance to convey the change they have undergone once they summoned the courage to take the reins of their own lives. The approach is based on "In Movement: Art for Social Change", an NGO which uses dance, theatre, music, the fine arts, creative writing and the circus arts to create a life space of personal reaffirmation and social integration for Ugandan youths. There they can practice and display their art and receive applause from an audience, the best reaffirmation therapy possible.
