Editor: This is Jack Delano’s photograph, "One of the children of a 'squatter' family that had to move out of the Camp Crof." The young person looks straight at us, but I wonder what they're thinking. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I feel a quiet resilience. Delano captures a stark reality, but within that gaze, there's an undeniable strength. The worn clothes and the weathered landscape contrast with the child’s stillness. There's a story being whispered, isn't there? Editor: Yes, definitely. It makes you think about what this child's future will look like. Curator: Exactly. It's a mirror reflecting a larger social narrative, a poignant commentary on displacement. Art with a conscience. Editor: It's definitely given me a lot to reflect on!
