Portraits of Tanzania Exhibition
Project Description
From the magnificent lions and leopards of the Serengeti plains, to the vulnerable orphanage children in Arusha. From the nomadic and proud Masaai people of the East African Savanna, to the passion of protestors on city streets. Captured during a six week long volunteering project, Portraits of Tanzania presents a glimpse into the soul and character which makes this country so unique.
This is the debut solo exhibition by emerging Perth photographer Jarrad Seng, and will open on Thursday October 6th at Kulcha, Fremantle.
I am seeking funding to help cover the costs involved with running the exhibition: printing and framing of works, venue fees and launch night expenses. Profits from print sales will go towards various humanitarian NGOs I worked with in Arusha.
Any contributions, big or small, would be GREATLY appreciated and go a long way into making this all possible. Please note that the purpose of this campaign is to secure the necessary funds before the official launch; prints will also be on sale at the exhibition.
I have offered up a range of 'rewards' or ways of showing my thanks for your support. The rewards don't reflect the value of the contribution (please don't think of it like you are 'buying' a reward), it's more like a gift, or a way of showing my appreciation. Some amazing organisations have graciously donated some of these gifts, including Black Swan State Theatre Company and Leederville Camera House.
If you are working with an organisation that might be interested in becoming a corporate sponsor of the exhibition, please contact me on jarradseng@gmail.com so I can send you some information on sponsor packages.

His work has won multiple awards, been published in The West Australian, Sydney Morning Herald, J Mag, TV Hits and WAToday, and Canon advertising campaigns. Jarrad's work has also been featured in several local and interstate exhibitions.
Jarrad is passionate, self-taught and fueled by instinct and adrenaline. He thrives on diving head-first into the unknown and lives to capture the unique, the exhilirating and the beautiful moments in life.
Throughout his career, Jarrad has donated his skills and time towards many volunteering, youth and community projects. In 2009, he travelled to Nepal to volunteer as an English teacher in a remote primary school. He has also travelled to remote parts of WA to work in indigenous communities, and in 2011 ventured to Tanzania to volunteer his photography and videography skills to orphanages and other NGOs in Arusha.
