Elis Taves, a Brazilian photographer currently based in Ireland, presents an

Belo Horizonte, the fourth largest city in Brazil and Elis' home town.

The images have been printed on vinyl and mounted onto perspex by MCGOWANS
with the support of sponsor WESTERN UNION and they will be exhibited at the

Launch of 'City of Children' at
Oscar Wilde House, The American College, Merrion Square on Tuesday 14th June
at 6.00pm

The exhibition will be open to the public from 15th-23rd June 2005 from
