‘Emerging’ at the Science Museum

Exhibition, Community Photojournalism Projects, PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUTHS, Youth Exhibition

This year the Photojournalism Hub has been invited to be a community partner of Imperial College The Great Exhibition Road Festival in South Kensington.

We were delighted to showcase a photography exhibition from our young people’s group at the Smith Centre in the Science Museum. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved and in particular for our young people who had the opportunity to share and speak about their work to a large number of people who came to visit us and the festival.

Here are some photos from ‘Emerging’ photography exhibition at the Smith Centre in the Science Museum:

Communities

Youth Magazine, Community Photojournalism Projects, PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUTHS

The Photojournalism Hub is proud to present the latest edition of documentary photography and writings from our workshop participants. This issue focuses on the theme of ‘Communities’ in its broadest sense.

Our participants have captured stories using a social documentary approach, reported directly on community events, and explored the meaning of community from both personal and broader perspectives.
We feature stories of communities of skaters, Meanwhile Gardens and the fight for its survival, exploring graffiti as a community voice, local venues that forms hubs of community attraction and support, and much more. Additionally, we present stories that have been taken abroad as some participants find that communities is what they feel they belong to.

The photo stories in this edition demonstrate a strong level of ownership of the medium of photography and visual narrative. I am delighted to share them with you.

COMMUNITY FORUMS

Community Photojournalism Projects

Using Photojournalism to make positive changes

Community Talks is an ambitious project which promotes independent journalism and expose issues and topics from communities and individuals around the world whose voice is often neglected, uncovered,  unreported.  Often, photo stories and news that reach mainstream media do not reflect a thorough research, many voices are left behind that would provide a better and fairer understanding  of an issue. The Photojournalism Hub plan is to provide an outlet for those voices and to share news and in-depth photo and journalistic essay that will counteract mainstream media from local and global communities. 

Conversations with the Somali Communities

The Photojournalism Hub and Lido Foundation invited local Somali communities living in/around White City, Shepherds Bush to an open conversation. Many joined us in very constructive conversations that focused on the areas in need of support for an improved well-being of the community. men and women and young people talking openly about their lives and the challenges that they encounter.

 

 

 

 

Conversations with women in White City

On the 10th January, we hosted our first Open Forums in White City in collaboration with the charity Women Make Change, a local charity that supports women, survivors of domestic abuse.
We sat in circle and we each contributed with our experiences of living in the area as women, mothers, sisters and what are expectations were around support from local governance and policing.  The conversation led towards areas that have not been researched, investigated and analysed in depth as such  exclusions within schools and what it seems to be a highly disproportionate number to come from black and poor background. This was one of the areas that women have asked for support .
