		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to reader Naomi Sunderland for writing in with a link to 1000 Voices &#8211; a project gathering first person stories of people living with disabilities in Australia to use in disability research, advocacy and policy change. Hosted at Griffith University and sponsored by a range of government and non-government orgs, the project is aiming to gather the stories of 1000 people living with disabilities. The stories so far are mainly text based &#8211; sometimes transcriptions of interviews accompanied by some images, but there is capacity to post multi-media works and video. From the USA comes a project with the same name &#8211; the 1000 voices archive &#8211; which is an online archive and tool for social advocacy. The video vignettes have either been drawn from larger films on particular topics, or are short form films made specifically for the 1000 voices archive project. The Australian 1000 Voices project is linked to a research project, so the stories are forming data for the research. The US archive is well resourced with tools about the themes taken up in each story &#8211; such as laws supporting paid parental leave, or campaigns to deal with new coal power plants being built on [...]]]></description>

Stars of Bethlehem is a participatory video project that worked with young Palestinian refugees in camps in Bethlehem in 2007. This exhibition features 3 of the films made by young film makers during the project, representing their experiences and lives as refugees. The films are shown with the permission of the film makers, and the exhibition is accompanied by a two part interview with participatory video facilitator Marie-Eve Leduc about her experience of facilitating the Stars of Bethlehem project and supporting the making of video by the young participants. You can see the exhibition by clicking here. Follow the links to read Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview with Marie-Eve Leduc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 2 on Marie-Eve Leduc’s work with Participatory Video and her 2007 work running a PV project with 6 Palestinian youths in Bethlehem, Marie-Eve talks about her motivations and approach to PV and reflects on how her own identity as foreign facilitator may have influenced the direction of the youth’s films, despite efforts to minimise this influence. You can read Part 1 on Marie-Eve’s work here. Marie-Eve was influenced in her PV approach by other Participatory Video practitioners, such as Nick &#38; Chris Lunch and InsightShare PV model, however she adapted and changed the approach to suit her goals for the project. “My primary objectives were never to use films as a negotiation tool to stimulate communication between a community and its policy-makers. I was basically concerned to discover and understand how young Palestinian refugees perceive their world and represent themselves through films. I was interested in their personal visual narratives recounting their life experiences as Palestinian refugee and adolescents. I chose to work with a model of individual film-making, but I maintained the idea of the ‘group’. This means that we had group workshops, discussions and brainstorming but in the end, the six members of the group had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in what I hope will be a series about artists and practitioners who bring together collaborative ethnography and art. This first feature is about Participatory Video practitioner Marie-Eve Leduc. It is accompanied by an exhibition in Side by Side Online Galleries of 3 of the films made by young Palestinian refugees in a project that Marie-Eve facilitated. Click here to visit the exhibition. I first came across Marie-Eve’s work when I was shown a copy of her film “Stars Of Bethlehem” which is a documentary about a Participatory Video (PV) project she ran in Bethlehem with Palestinian refugees in 2007. At that time she made the film, Marie-Eve was a student in the Masters of Visual Culture Studies at the University Tromso, in Norway. Marie-Eve calls Stars of Bethlehem a ‘mosaic’ film which was made as part of the examination process for her training.  To me there is great strength in the films ability to reveal aspects of the process of collaboration and the nature of the relationships which enabled 6 young people to make their own films. As practitioners of participatory and collaborative projects, such insights into other peoples experience are rare, and invaluable. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[December &#8217;09 brings to fruition two exhibitions about the interesections of ethnographic and art making practices. In Philidelphia USA, Ethnographic Terminalia opens on December 4th at the Metafactory, and on the other side of the Pacific ocean Interventions &#8211; experiments between art and ethnography is being held from 9 to 11 December at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Both of these exhibitions are exploring creative ways of presenting and undertaking ethnographic work and are curated exhibitions featuring works of ethnographers, artists and &#8220;artist-ethnographers&#8221; (got to love the possibilities created by a hyphen!).  Both are also presented in conjunction with anthropological conferences  - the American Anthropological Association is currently holding its annual meeting in Philidelphia and the Australian Anthropological Society Annual Conference is hosting the Interventions exhibition. Held in these contexts the exhibitions are seeking to expand and inspire possibilities of current and future ethnographic practices. &#8220;The works presented in Ethnographic Terminalia in their various ways address the possibility of showing and interpreting cultural worlds outside of the traditional cinematic and textual frameworks. By engaging with the spaces of contemporary art exhibition and by playing in the grammars and idioms of contemporary art practices these works decenter the privileged categories of both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most projects that set out to facilitate community participation in the creation of representations – be it for social justice advocacy; health and wellbeing; or cultural documentation – do so with a belief that participation in the making of representations about ones own community or culture can be empowering and re-construct power dynamics and patterns of dominance. Perhaps&#8230; but that doesn’t mean that power and dominance are necessarily eliminated in the process&#8230; perhaps they are just re-configured? Kate Hennessy, a researcher and photographer, involved in in recent years a large participatory digital ethnography project in Northeastern British Columbia  has been thinking about these issues and writes: “A central goal for participatory research processes is realignment of power, and in visual, media, and museum anthropology, the facilitation of self-representation. However, community direction of a media or research project, while potentially breaking down relations of power between researcher/outside facilitator and the community, can create representations of culture that generate new hegemonies of representation.” Click here to read more and leave a comment below with your thoughts&#8230; (more info on the project Kate is writing about can be found by reading her on-line paper “You Tell Them the Important Stories”:  Participatory Digital Ethnography in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent years there has been a significant rise within the social sciences of interest in visual research methods as well as participatory and collaborative practices. This builds on a long history of visual anthropology, and other methodologies, such as participatory action research which are gaining a stronger foot hold within contemporary researchers. Although many projects that bring together collaborative art practices with collaborative documentary or ethnographic agendas sit outside of an explicit goal of research, increasingly research agendas are seeding new collaborative visual projects in the name of knowledge creation. The projects are generating visual and creative material as data, as well as research products which integrate these forms. Last month in Leeds (UK) the 1st International Visual Methods Conference was held – with an unexpectedly large registration of over 250 people. I wasn’t there, though I would have liked to be (would love to hear from anyone who was&#8230; leave a comment&#8230;). The conference materials spell out some of the ways that participatory practices and creative and visual practices are being taken up in research contexts.  Below are a couple of excerpts from the conference brochure  outlining some conference themes &#8211; which reflect how contemporary research has an [...]]]></description>
