participatory research
Democracy, at its best, isn’t just about casting a vote every few years. It’s about who gets to shape the conversation - whose experiences count as evidence, and whose stories are treated as data. By putting cameras in the hands of everyday people, it reframes who qualifies as an expert on community life. Photo by Tania Fernandez on Unsplash
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.
