Photovoice Dinners

Locations 

What if a set of photos could completely transform how you understand your purpose, the experiences of others, and the value of humanity? With over 5 billion pictures taken globally every day, Photovoice uses this powerful medium to foster deeper connections and understanding between participants. In this 90-minute interactive session, you’ll use photographs to reflect, share your story, and engage in meaningful dialogue with others. Whether you're looking to explore your own journey or connect with diverse perspectives, this innovative experience is designed for everyone. No photography skills are needed—just bring your curiosity and an open mind! Come capture more than just a moment—discover the stories behind the images!

Join us for a vegetarian dinner and a unique style of conversation each fourth Thursday of the month. At Photovoice dinners, you will share simple phone photographs of your own making to express your thoughts on meaningful topics like religion, politics, and belonging. A facilitator will guide your table through the process of sharing, asking questions, and understanding everyone's experiences. Receive more information about the monthly topics by signing up here.

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute is hosting its first Photovoice dinner for students on Thursday, September 25th, at 6pm in Pierpont Commons. The theme of the September 25th dinner is "hope," and we especially invite those involved with campus religious and spiritual groups to attend. A facilitator will guide your table through the process of sharing, asking questions, and understanding everyone's experiences. Students can RSVP for the September 25th dinner using the pre-registration link listed.


In preparation for the dinner, please choose three of your own photographs (or take three new photographs) that you would be willing to share with others in response to the following prompt: "Hope can be felt, longed for, aspired to, practiced. What does hope look like for you now?"


Additional student dinners will be held on the fourth Thursday of each month at rotating locations. The theme of each dialogue will be different, but the meal will always be vegetarian. Receive more information about future monthly topics by filling out the interest form included.
