Mother Tongues

I just got back to the UK after a fabulous four months living and working in Nepal.

I ran a ten week participatory photography project called Mother Tongues in partnership with the Women's Foundation of Nepal (WFN) working with women living at their shelter who have been victims of extreme domestic violence.

The project wasn't without it's difficulties, but overall it was a rewarding experience for all involved, with some truly stunning images created by the women (who had literally never held a camera prior to our workshops), and the creation of a postcard from their images which will be sold to generate an income for WFN and the shelter where they live

I've made a site which explains the project in more detail, and contains galleries of the participants' images.  Take a peek - www.mothertongues.weebly.com
