If you have archival photographs, or take a new portrait in the natural environment (indoors or outdoors) of anyone around you who you think deserves attention (the reason may be whatever it is, "the best grandmother in the world", local shopkeeper or postman, otherwise a publicly visible or beneficial person, etc.), also send them to photoillustrata@gmail.com with the subject "portrait". Please include the author's name, the year the photo was taken, if known, the name and year of birth of the person being portrayed, and a brief description of the person and your motivation to send particularly that. We will be looking forward to the emerging collection, which can become part of the exhibition under the slogan #everybodyisimportant#everybodyisseen.
