A short time before I went to Lisbon I did a photoshoot for the ‘Ceramics Museum in Leeuwarden’, Holland. The same day, after the photoshoot in the museum, I also made some portrait photos of Gerda Havertong. One of these pictures has recently been used in ICCO magazine, for an interview with Gerda Havertong. Gerda Havertong has been actively involved with ICCO and has been a member for years.
Gerda Havertong used to present on the Dutch Sesame Street. She is a professional artist and also writes books. Just recently she did the voice over for a 3D character in the Disney film ‘The Princess and the Frog’ (Dutch version).
Some of her activities are poetry, storytelling for children and poems for ‘third world liturature’ in combination with music.
About ICCO
ICCO is an organisation that works on a world without poverty and injustice. For this reason ICCO supports various projects in the world that have that same main goal, and ICCO gives a contribution to these projects by for example financing it and giving assistence.
The interview for ICCO Magazine used one of the portrait photos I made of miss Havertong. The interview was held by Jan-Henk van Vulpen. You can read (in Dutch) and see the article and picture in the link below. I also added the photo in this blogpost.
