Caroline Irby: A Child from Everywhere.
V&A Museum of Childhood.
7 May 2010 – 30 August 2010
Caroline worked with our studio using the Master service to produce her final prints, choosing to print digitally on Fuji Crystal Archive C-type paper, known for its fine detail and proven archival qualities. Caroline’s prints were then mounted to Dibond, an archival material which is a lightweight alternative to Aluminium. To show off the detail of these beautiful prints we then box framed with a wooden moulding and used Mirogard museum glass to give her frames the perfect finish. NEWS ARCHIVE

Caroline Irby is an award winning British documentary and portrait photographer and writer, and has worked extensively in Africa and Asia. She has a reputation for telling her stories through the voice of children. Irby has previously written for The Guardian, The Independent and The Times.
There are 192 countries in the world: photographer and writer Caroline Irby set out to find, photograph and interview one child from each of these countries now living in the UK.
From 7 May, a selection of these visually and emotionally engaging photographs - reproduced on a large scale - will be on display at the V&A Museum of Childhood. Sitting alongside the images will be a series of short films the artist made for Channel 4, which features a number of interviews with the children.
Irby's search took her from the Orkney Isles to the Isle of Wight, and from Belfast to Cornwall. She's experienced the hospitality - the meatballs, the couscous, the chocolate in unfamiliar wrapping - of families from every continent, and through all of these encounters was given both a glimpse into the countries from which the children had come, and 185-layered image of her own country.
The photographs of the children on display will include Juan from Chile, now living in the Orkney Islands, where his father is head of production on a salmon farm; Aura who was adopted from a Guatemalan orphanage who now lives in Oxford; and Emmanuel, a Sudanese refugee living in Bolton who fled his country via Uganda.
