In-person Photovoice
In summer 2025, PVWW instructors hit the road with a series of in-person photovoice trainings. We interviewed one of them about the experience and her takeaways. The results may surprise you!
In this photovoice project, six young Bedouin women took photos that challenge stereotypes of Bedouin women as passive recipients of cultural heritage, instead, appearing as active agents shaping their own narratives. Their efforts represent not only a personal journey, but also, a social commentary on the roles and expectations of Bedouin women in a changing world.
Nagham received a grant from Ettijahat – Independent Culture to lead her first independent photovoice project, focusing on the cultural identity of young Bedouin women in Lebanon. This project has been deeply personal, shaped by her close collaboration with six young women who shared powerful stories about belonging, gender roles, identity and everyday resilience.
PVWW educator Erica Belli had the privilege of using arts-based methods with child refugees traveling the perilous Balkan Route. She came away humbled by their openness, trust, creativity, and resilience.
In April, Photovoice Worldwide educators traveled to Dubai, UAE, to conduct a two-day, intensive, photovoice training. While there, they experienced historic rains and flooding.
Using cameras and captions, parents across the Middle East are being encouraged to explore gender bias and stereotyped roles among mothers and fathers within the family unit. One photovoice participant shared her experience with us.
