		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Checkout the newest offering from the Neighborhood Story Project in New Orleans: &#8220;After a season of writing workshops on the backside of the Fair Grounds, the Neighborhood Story Project has produced an exhibition of open letters written by jockeys, trainers, grooms, hotwalkers, veterinarians and track employees&#8230; Each year, more than 700 workers arrive in October and leave after the Louisiana Derby at the end of March. In this project, the writers have documented the joys and struggles of the horseracing world during the months in between. The exhibit includes handmade letter boxes with copies of the letters that can be taken home to read more about the months of work and planning that go into creating the racing glory that lasts less than two minutes.&#8221; See the NSP website to read one of the letters and for details on the exhibition, or read the article written on the project in the New York Times.]]></description>

It was sponsored through a grant from the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The photography by Maya Haviland of Side by Side Community Projects and the stories by Rachel Breunlin of Neighborhood Story Project at the University of New Orleans provide insight into the Houma community and traditions. The event, free and open to the public, will include intertribal dancing, a presentation on the history of the United Houma Nation by tribal historian Mike Dardar, and an &#8220;unveiling&#8221; of the posters. There will be light refreshments and time to meet the people who contributed oral histories to the project afterward.

		<description><![CDATA[On the theme of digital stories (see previous post) I realised that I have not posted anything about some of the foundation organisations of the digital storytelling movement- for example  the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkley California which has established a model of digital story telling that has been widely taken up and adapted in Australia (and elsewhere). You can check out their site at www.storycenter.org where you can read their digital story telling recipe book, see case studies and order more resources. The Center for Digital Storytelling has done digital storytelling workshops and training all over the world, and worked on a variety of health and social issues, such as domestic violence and the impacts of HIV/AIDS. Check out a project they collaborated on in 2007 with HIV positive people in South Africa called Amplifying Voices. As the site for this project says the digital stories are made available as advocacy tools &#8211; an increasingly common goal of first person narratives, the idea being that the stories and experiences of real people told in their own voices are particularly potent for raising social and health issues and removing stigma. In Australia we can thank ACMI (The Australian Centre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I was in New Orleans I had the opportunity to meet DJ Invinsible (see her company emergence music for insight into independant hip hop world), who was doing some media training for the new young writers at the Neighborhood Story Project who were about to launch their books. She is a very cool collaborative hip hop artist and activist, and she told me about Detroit Summer, a very interesting collaborative activist art project she has been involved with working with young people and others in Detroit USA. Their methods are interesting &#8211; working with young people to workshop issues effecting them &#8211; such as bias and racism in the school system &#8211; they workshop strategies to get their points of view heard, go out and research the issue with interviews and gathering stories, images, sounds etc, and then use all this material to make their own art. Check out some of the things they have made at the Detroit Summer Utube Channel. DJ Invinsible also introduced me to the Allied Media Conference - initially a conference bringing together people interested in do-it-yourself media, the AMC is increasingly attracting people who are interested in using participatory media as a strategy for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the slow process of rebuilding has progressed, a number of new collaborative media making projects have gotten underway around the city. The New Orleans Kid Camera Project started in 2006 when Joanna Rosenthal &#38; Cat Malovic, both trained as social workers,  were looking for a way to engage with kids who had returned after the storm to devastated communities and closed schools. They had personal interest in photography and were working in a neighborhood centre after the storm. Seeing kids at a loose end with the schools shut they started a small project giving disposable cameras to kids to document their communities, running small workshops in the neighborhoods of the kids on saturday afternoons, and, over time, arranging exhibitions of their work. New Orleans Video Voices began in 2008 out of a collaboration between REACH NOLA, an organisation focussed on supporting community health in New Orleans,  and the Video Voice Collective, which used video as a participatory research technique to engage New Orleans community members in identifying health issues and needs in the community. You can see videos from this initial project on the Video Voices site here. New Orleans Video Voices has [...]]]></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[If you don&#8217;t yet know about the Neighborhood Story Project (NSP) &#8211; then this blog post is for you. Based in New Orleans Lousianna, NSP is a project at the intersection of education, collaborative anthropology,  community development and the making of locally relevant literature. Their own self-description is: “through writing, interviews, and photograph, neighborhood writers create portraits of our places, then edit the stories with the neighborhoods to make sure we get it right. We publish the books and have block parties to celebrate.” Their tag line sums up the heart of participatory documentary practices: Our Stories Told By Us… I&#8217;m lucky enough to be about to spend a month in New Orleans and be around when the NSP launch their next books, written by young people about their neighborhoods as part of the book making program at John McDonogh Senior High. The first set of books made in this program are now know as Before the Storm and are a set of 5 books written by young new orleanians in the years before Hurricane Katrina. The next ones are due to come out in early December and are the culmination of 2 years work with a group of young [...]]]></description>
