On 23rd of April, at 11:30 am, we will host another AfDevLives creative research methodologies session, dedicated to the photovoice research method. It will be facilitated by Nura Ali, a doctoral student at the Development Planning Unit at University College London, and Nosazemen Agbontaen, a filmmaker, photographer, writer and producer.
In their lecture “Photography as Method”, Nura and Nosa will share their work using participatory photography in an effort to re-frame the narrative of a contested low-income neighbourhood in Lagos, Nigeria. Makoko (the neighbourhood) is subject to a myriad of media articles and the ways in which it is portrayed are often not in line with residents’ visions. To explore identities that are simultaneously over- and undernarrated, Nura organised a photovoice and photo elicitation workshop, and a 2-day photowalk. The results were shown at the Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, and public discussions with academics, policy makers and media representatives were held.
