Participatory Photography
Participatory Photography is a method that involves individuals in the process of taking photographs to express their perspectives and experiences. This approach empowers participants, often from marginalized communities, to share their stories visually, fostering a sense of ownership and creativity.
The technique is commonly used in community development and social research, allowing participants to document their lives and environments. By engaging with tools like cameras, they can highlight issues important to them, making their voices heard in discussions about topics such as social justice and community engagement.
