		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The United Houma Nation&#8217;s oral history poster project will debut at the Jean Lafitte Acadian Wetland Center (Thibadeaux, Louisiana, USA) on September 4, 2010 from 2:00-4:30 p.m. The project is a collaboration between the United Houma Nation&#8217;s tribal council, the University of New Orleans&#8217; Neighborhood Story Project, and Side by Side Community Projects, Australia. 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[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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2008 I collaborated with Rachel Breunlin from the Neighborhood Story Project (based in New Orleans, Louisiana USA) and Jalaris Aboriginal Corporation (based in Derby, Western Australia) on a collaborative writing and photography project which resulted in the book Singing Out &#8211; Aboriginal Ladies Stories of the North West Kimberley. The project aimed at documenting and sharing the diverse stories of Aboriginal women’s experiences of education and learning using writing, interviewing and photography, and forms part of the community-based research on issues for Indigenous kids and families in Derby on which Jalaris and I have been collaborating for many years. Click here to read more about Singing Out, including links to a podcast of readings from the book launch and some pages from the book&#8230; You can also go here, to Side by Side Community Project Consulting website to read more generally about what Jalaris Aboriginal Corporation is up to&#8230; We are all pretty proud of Singing Out &#8211; its a great read and a beautiful object, and we think (not wanting to be too modest!) that its a good contribution to literature in and about the Kimberley region of Australia, as well as a document of womens stories that [...]]]></description>
