Participatory Photography

Participatory photography is a collaborative approach where community members use photography to share their perspectives, experiences, and issues they find important. By taking and often discussing their own photos, people can express their realities, advocate for change, and build awareness among others. This method empowers individuals, giving them a voice in conversations typically dominated by external viewpoints, and helps generate a deeper understanding of social, cultural, or environmental topics from those directly affected. It's both a tool for expression and a means to foster dialogue and community engagement.
