Alongside her documentary projects, Karine develops participatory photography projects, workshops and educational programs. Drawing from her experience as an artist as well as her background in social work she works with photography to connect people, explore different perspectives and create new stories.
Photovoice and participatory photography
Through working with photovoice (a participatory research method) Karine uses photography and storytelling to enable people to document, reflect on and communicate their own experiences and perspectives. Karine develops and facilitates photovoice and participatory projects from the first concept to working with participants and creating a meaningful presentation. This can be an exhibition, publication, talk or other way of presentation. She also provides training and coaching in photovoice and participatory photography for artists, educators, organisations, museums and professionals interested in developing participatory approaches within their practice.
Talks and workshops
Karine hosts talks and workshops on photography, visual storytelling and participatory ways of working. Themes can include memory, identity, belonging, mental health, image perception & stereotypes and autobiographical photography.
