Interviews
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!
While interning with Photovoice Worldwide, Sanem facilitated a photovoice project with a young cancer patient in Turkey. This collaboration inspired her to share his story. We recently sat down with Sanem to talk about her vision and hopes for the book.
Social worker and PhD candidate Julissa Torres-Adames believes that, “With proper support, photovoice can...help clients work through past traumas and narrative therapy approaches.” PVWW interviewed Julissa about a project she co-facilitated with persons accessing services for mental health and substance use issues.
One way to acknowledge and address the interconnected legacies of colonialism and racism within photovoice health research is to adopt an anticolonial stance in framing our research and throughout its research phases.
For photovoice to work, participants have to want to be involved; it needs to be enjoyable. Participatory photography projects are about building connections and dialogue and this won’t happen if people don’t feel safe, comfortable or respected.
