Image-making for collaborative inquiry and reflective practice (HERITAGE-01)

Imagery can function simultaneously as a reflective process, research methodology, and framework for dialogue between communities, researchers, stakeholders, and social contexts. My work focuses on participatory image-based methodologies that generate qualitative knowledge, support collaborative inquiry, and explore social realities through situated and community-based perspectives.

I am particularly interested in how participatory practices centred on image creation can contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration, soft skills development, and collective reflection while producing transferable frameworks for socially engaged and research-based practices.

What I bring to the consortium

• Design and implementation of participatory image-based methodologies within socially engaged and community-based research contexts

• Generation of qualitative knowledge through reflective and collaborative visual processes

• Development of participant-led visual and narrative materials as situated qualitative research outputs

• Contribution to interdisciplinary and participatory frameworks connecting knowledge production, collective reflection, and public engagement

• Experience facilitating image-based participatory processes in socially sensitive and post-conflict contexts

• Development of visual, communicative, and educational formats aligned with research and engagement processes

Role in the project

I can contribute as:

• Methodological partner in participatory and community-engaged research

• Contributor or Work Package lead in citizen engagement, co-creation, or dissemination activities

• Contributor to proposal development, particularly in strengthening participatory, qualitative, and engagement-oriented dimensions

• Support in developing coherent connections between research processes, public engagement, and dissemination strategies
