NEW YORK—The United Nations has 193 member nations. New York City is home to the U.N. Headquarters and also to people from nearly every one of those nations.
Danny Goldfield photographed children from 169 countries living in New York City for the NYChildren exhibition at the Park51 Islamic center on Park Avenue. The exhibit was set to end Dec. 21, but it has been extended until Jan. 21, 2012, to find the remaining children needed to complete the work. The call is out for children from the remaining 24 U.N. nations: Andorra, Benin, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Kiribati, Kuwait, Malawi, Maldives, Mauritius, Micronesia, Monaco, Mozambique, Nauru, North Korea, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Samoa, Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, Solomon Islands, South Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Vanuatu.
The first family to meet the criteria will be invited to participate. The child must live in New York City, be 12 years of age or younger, and be born in one of the remaining nations or have parents born in one of those nations.
