The City of Children

Since 2002 Monika Merva has been documenting the lives of children who are living in a government housing facility in Hungary; a facility for children who are fleeing from abusive and poverty-stricken backgrounds. They call this place “The City of Children.”

Based in New York, Merva has exhibited at many international venues, including the Griffin Photography Museum, Winchester, MA; the RayKo Photo Center, San Francisco, CA; FotoFest, Houston, TX; and The International House, New York, NY. Her work is in collections such as the George Eastman House.
