Photo Voice Project
View our Photo Voice Projects at Rhode Island
Hospital from February 1 - 14, 2010. They will be in
the display cases in the hall behind the entrance to the APC
building (across from Au Bon Pain).
PhotoVoice was a 10 week project
sponsored by the Brain Injury Resource Center this summer.
Participants were given a camera and sent off to take
pictures of what their brain injury meant to them. Over the
summer, as a group the participants viewed and discussed
each other photographs. Each participant then selected and
enlarged a photograph, wrote a narrative to accompany the
photo and created a display of their finished work.
