“…The choice of an exhibition form in photovoice (Evans-Agnew and Rosemberg 2016) and shaping the narrative of a story that will resonate with an audience (Gubrium, Hill, and Flicker 2014), is supposed to be a participatory process (Wang and Burris 1997). If not, it could lead to public voyeurism (Holtby et al 2015) and discomfort (Sandlin, Quiroga, and Hammerand 2018), as in this case. This study supports the need for researchers to anticipate media attention from the start of a photovoice project.…”

“…Social change rarely comes without a struggle or ethical issues (Davis and Vaughan 2019), and these are at the heart of every participatory study (Banks, Armstrong, and Carter et al 2013;Banks and Brydon-Miller. 2019;Groot, 2021.;Kwan and Walsh 2018;Sandlin, Quiroga, and Hammerand 2018;Wilson, Kenny, and Dickson-Swift 2018). Working with visual material, such as photographs taken by participants in participatory health research, raises specific ethical issues, especially when the press and online (social) media are involved.…”

Participatory health research (PHR) and the use of arts-based methods continues to grow in popularity. Many scholars acknowledge the importance of (visual) ethics, especially in the dissemination of photographs in a digital age, but ethical issues that arise in relation to contact with the press and social media are not well documented. This article presents second-person action research of a critical case of photovoice in which ethical issues arose when a newspaper report reinforced stigma and was widely disseminated via social media. Press and social media can rapidly engage people for social change, but this also presents risks. What is the potential to destigmatize in such situations? The context of the case in this article is the participatory KLIK project, a Dutch initiative which aims to improve the health and resilience of school children aged 8-11 years in a deprived neighbourhood. Awareness of the possibility of political listening and viewing is fundamental for an ethical practice. This article shows the importance of co-ownership, media literacy and collaborative learning about ethics in PHR.

“…Participants were trained to use point-and-shoot digital cameras that they could keep following the study. Most photovoice studies include a brief orientation to photography including ethical photo-taking guidelines (Catalani & Minkler, 2010), but it is rare to find studies that document training in composition (Sandlin, Szkupinski Quiroga, & Hammerand, 2018). Participants often arrive to photovoice projects with a range of visual literacies that they are interested and willing to share with others (Holtby et al, 2015).…”

The proliferation of participatory visual methods (PVMs) in applied research has highlighted new ways of seeing and thinking about research. A core tenant of PVMs is the situated, collaborative, reflexive, and co-constructed nature of the work and resulting findings. However, as these methods gain popularity, there can be a disparity between how PVMs are theorized, imagined, and facilitated. Although the facilitated and reflexive nature of PVMs is generally understood by practitioners, researchers seldom report on pedagogical design of their projects, even though the facilitation of a method, and a researcher’s own lens and orientation to photography will influence the production and reading of images. To achieve greater congruence between paradigm and practice, it may be important to return to fundamental questions about the role of facilitation and the process of crafting and exhibiting images in photovoice in relation to one’s study aims. In this article, I explore the crafted role of image-making in the context of a photovoice project that asked stakeholders to visualize engagement in the local HIV sector. Participants created and exhibited 63 photographs and narratives that relied heavily on metaphor as a crafted strategy. They also created three site-specific photo installations. Through detailing our facilitated process, I illustrate how certain design elements (influenced by my pedagogical and theoretical orientations toward co-theorizing) created the necessary conditions for participants to visualize their ideas through metaphor and installation. In turn, the exhibited images and associated installations created new opportunities for synthesis, dialogue, and dissemination. I conclude with a theoretical discussion of the possibilities for taking a crafted and reflexive approach to image-making in photovoice studies.

“…What if I am unknowingly complicit in perpetuating unjust systems of knowledge production and dissemination?) is often perceived as an idle rather than significant enterprise (Gannon, 2018;Sandlin et al, 2018). It may appear that these questions are to be reserved for after the important work is done, that is, after the production of a sufficient quantity of outputs in the so-called right kind of journals.…”

This article addresses the struggle of crafting a recognized professional scholarly identity, and reflects on the significance of puppets to interrupt this struggle, assert one’s voice, and creatively occupy one’s space. Our interdisciplinary contribution aims to extend conversations on the realities of academic life that are often muted or diluted such as anxiety, self-doubt, weariness and failure, with implications for creative research practices. We engage the aforementioned realities through a mix of creative and whimsical writing styles (e.g., human-puppet dialogues; poetry; reflection), leveraging insights from the Jungian psychological approach to archetypal symbol and the imagination as well as transformative arts-based approaches involving storytelling, voice, and liminal space. After exploring our own experiences carving out space as creative and reflective scholar-practitioners, we discuss two examples where puppets disrupted the status quo of particular academic settings and provided opportunities for different, more spontaneous forms of engagement with the self and with others.
