Photovoice, i.e. emotions and experiences expressed in images

Dr Izabela KamiÅ„ska-Jatczak from the Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ carried out research with the participation of parents experiencing care and upbringing problems – those who are at risk of having their children taken away from them, whose children have been taken away and who tried to get them back from foster care institutions (orphanages, foster families), as well as those who have succeeded. She worked with the project participants using the so-called photovoice – the study subjects took pictures from their own lives and told stories illustrating their experiences. The photos play the role of “communication bridgesâ€� thanks to which parents share their experiences.

The photos taken by the project participants show their experiences in a metaphorical way and reflect emotions accompanying them in the process of struggling with the problems of everyday life, which affect the experience of parenting.   

The photographs presented at the exhibition with text and digital storytelling, which brings the presented stories to life, constitute the effect of working with the study group.

A fragment of the project participant's statement and a photo:

I beat the whole system a few years ago. I got my kids back. It was a very, very, very long fight. I wrote to children and human rights ombudsmen. I was everywhere, even where they didn’t want me. There was strong determination and self-denial in me, such foot-stomping. And I was just coming in through the window when they didn't let me through the door.
