Visual Storytelling: Ethics, Power, and Narratives for Social Change is a hands-on course that equips advocates, educators, community organizers, and creatives to use images ethically and effectively to influence policy, shift narratives, and strengthen community voice. Blending participatory photography (Photovoice) with core photography skills, the course centers dignity, agency, and consent—so stories are created with people, not about them. Across six themed sessions, you’ll explore identity, belonging, resistance, and curation, while practicing frameworks like SHOWeD for analysis and collaborative sorting for theme development. You’ll learn the Four Fs (framing, focus, flash, feeling), visual literacy, and the technical and ethical skills to move from research question to public-facing story. You’ll also examine AI’s impact on photographic truth, consent frameworks, copyright, and practical safety in the field. By the end, you’ll be ready to design and facilitate Photovoice projects, curate powerful visuals with compelling captions, and share narratives that challenge misrecognition and inspire action. Whether you aim to elevate youth voices, inform community dialogues, or advocate for policy change, this course gives you a clear, ethical pathway from image-making to impact.

            <p>Visual storytelling serves as a transformative bridge between personal experience and systemic advocacy, offering a platform for voices that are often marginalized in traditional media. This course explores the Photovoice methodology, a participatory approach that empowers individuals to document their realities and catalyze social change through the lens of a camera. By moving beyond traditional photography, participants engage in a process that prioritizes the storyteller's perspective, using visual media as a strategic tool for community-led advocacy and policy influence. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how images can challenge dominant narratives and foster a deeper public understanding of complex social issues.</p>

<p>Throughout this educational journey, participants will master the technical "Four Fs"—framing, focus, flash, and feeling—while navigating the intricate ethical landscape of visual representation. The course delves into the power dynamics inherent in photography, emphasizing the necessity of informed consent, safety, and the responsible use of emerging technologies like generative AI. Through a structured six-session progression, the curriculum covers themes of identity, belonging, and resistance, guiding learners from the initial formulation of study questions to the collaborative analysis of images using the SHOWeD methodology. Ultimately, the program equips storytellers and facilitators with the skills to curate impactful narratives, identify community assets, and create safe spaces for collective reflection and action.</p>
