Abstract / Summary

This submission is based on my involvement with the three centred AHRC funded project 'Putting Ourselves in the Picture'. I was Mentor for Scottish group of pioneering project was led by Prof. Anna Fox. The project was funded by an EDI Engagement Fellowship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of UKRI (AHRC).
The project supported a community of marginalized women and non-binary people in collaboration with five organisations recognised for their influential endeavours: Autograph (London, Impressions (Bradford) and the National Galleries of Scotland.
Through a series of innovative workshops and mentorship activities organised by the partners this project has developed the skills, knowledge of photography and confidences of the participants. The resulting outputs are set to educate us all by increasing awareness of women’s unheard life stories using photography as a tool of empowerment and as a story-telling practice.
Over a six-month period, we in Edinburgh worked directly with a small group of West African women, now settled around North Edinburgh using photography to explore their physical, mental, and spiritual journeys that form each of their personal stories.

Output:
Exhibition – Scottish National Portrait Gallery and publication
