The Photojournalism Hub Calendar 2026 showcasing the incredible work of photojournalists and documentary photographers who have contributed to our mission.
‘Us Connected’ is a photobook created by women from West London as part of the Photojournalism Hub’s ‘Knowing You’ program—a course designed to build skills in photography and visual storytelling. The project offers a supportive space for self-expression, healing, and connection. Through the process of crafting and publishing photo stories of one another, participants gain tools for personal empowerment while fostering broader community cohesion.
The project has been kindly supported by the National Lottery.
Knowing You is a Photography and Storytelling project working with women of different faiths and backgrounds living in White City to inspire self expression, bonding and community cohesion.
Knowing You is a Photography and Storytelling programme developed by the Photojournalism Hub. It works on the principle that by getting to know each other, the process contributes to community cohesion and abating barriers of prejudice.
‘Knowing You’ is a Photography and Storytelling project with a community focus that uses the teaching of visual narrative as a means to educate, instil empowerment, erase barriers and foster community cohesion. The first ‘Knowing You’ project took place with women of White City supported by the charity Near Neighbours. The project allows a therapeutic and safe space in which participants go on a journey of self- expression, bonding and empowerment whilst learning new skills. It created a safe space for women of different faiths to meet, get to know each other and contributing to community cohesion. Women learned photography and photo storytelling by developing a visual narrative about a participant of the project with the photography showcased in a photobook.
The Knowing You project has been Awarded Recognised project (2020) and it is among the 40 selected projects ‘deemed exceptional’ by the judges of the Faith & Belief Forum and Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith for having provided support, respite and are working to make London a city that is inclusive to everyone and continuing to do so despite the challenges posed by the current pandemic.
