		Tania Spencer is a social documentary photographer. She has held a number of solo exhibitions, and has also participated in several group exhibitions. Tania is originally from South Africa, and traveled widely before making her home in Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories of Canada. A self-taught photographer, she also had informal training with two of South Africa's foremost social documentary photographers, David Goldblatt and Paul Weinberg. In 1995, Tania initiated a national photographic project documenting street children in South Africa. The project was called Through Their Eyes and entailed photographic workshops in which street children were given the opportunity to document their own lives. When not outdoors taking photos of Yellowknife, Tania is working on her latest project, Seeing the Light. This project documents the annual winter influx of Japanese tourists to Yellowknife, and was facilitated by an Arts Council grant from the Government of the Northwest Territories. Among other venues, Tania's photographs have been exhibited at: the Nunatta Sunakkataangit Museum in Iqaluit (Nunavut, Canada) the Adelaide McDermot Gallery in Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) the Tatham Art Gallery, Pietermaritzburg (South Africa) the Market Theatre Gallery, Johannesburg (South Africa)			Home Site Map Links Contact Us Webmaster Free Screensaver
