Projects
These projects span more than two decades of research and practice, from participatory photography with diverse communities to multi-country research on photography, the arts, peace, reconciliation and violence. Current and recent projects are featured first, followed by earlier research projects and an archive of the projects I led as co-director of PhotoVoice (1999–2010).
