What is Photovoice?
Photovoice is an innovative research method that combines photography with storytelling to explore social issues from the perspective of those who are most affected by them. It was first developed in the 1990s by Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris as a way to give voice to women living in rural China who were experiencing health disparities. Since then, photovoice has been used around the world by researchers, activists, educators, and community members to address a wide range of issues such as poverty, racism, gender inequality, environmental degradation, and more.
How Does Photovoice Work?
The photovoice process typically involves three main stages: taking photographs on a specific theme or topic; discussing the photographs with peers or facilitators; and using the insights gained from these discussions to create action plans or advocacy campaigns. By giving participants control over what they photograph and how they interpret their images through captions or narratives, photovoice allows them to express their experiences and perspectives in ways that are often overlooked or ignored by traditional research methods.
