Photo Voice Project
Visit the Photo Voice projects
at the Warwick Public Library during the month of November.
The projects will then be displayed at Rhode Island Hospital
from January 11 - 24, 2010.
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. If you
can’t make the reception, be sure to view the photographs on
display throughout the month of November.
