Highlighting the Power of Photovoice Exhibits as a Tool for Resistance, Equity, and Social Change

in 2022. Of the three core goals of Photovoice established by its founders Drs. Caroline Wang and Marianne Burris, one was "to reach policy makers." A foundational method to do this is public exhibits of Photovoice research results. However, discussions of processes or impact of this Photovoice goal are under-addressed and discussed in the literature. We argue this is, in fact, the most important component of Photovoice. Particularly during times like the current socio-political environment when public health and health equity are under assault, we must put a spotlight on using Photovoice for resistance, advocacy, and publicly promoting social and policy change. This perspective piece expands on the rationale for greater emphasis on sharing Photovoice publicly and details why Photovoice exhibits matter. Two examples of Photovoice exhibits that were shared multiple times across various venues for diverse audiences are described. In addition, actionable tips to inspire readers to design or improve exhibits within their own work are discussed.
