“Diverse Voices”: A Community Engagement Project on diversity in health research participation using participatory photography.
This project was conducted in 2021-22 with Kois Miah (koismiah.co.uk/), a photographer based in east London specialising primarily on projects that combine photography with community participation for social change. We successfully gained UCL Community Engagement seed funding (www.ucl.ac.uk/...) to collaborate with members of east London’s diverse communities in online workshops sharing our experiences of illness, healthcare, and Covid-19. We created images with smartphone cameras, took part in co-design workshops to address barriers to engagement with research and conducted a panel discussion and portrait exhibition at the Brady Art Gallery with participants’ images and professional portraiture taken by Kois. This video is a recording of the panel discussion at the Bloomsbury Theatre, UCL. The discussions feature workshop participants as well as medical student Christina Plowman and Senior Research fellow Sarah Jasim.
