"Participating in the Photovoice project was an eye-opener it really made me see things that were actually important in my life. Seeing the installation was a fun way to see similarities and our differences."

This book focuses on the images and narratives of participants from the Generation 21 Study.

Across eight themes identified by participants in our workshop this book provides a visual and narrative immersion into their life worlds. It explores how their lives are both shaped by their involvement in the cohort study but also often exceed it, revealing what is important to them and the details that inform their lives.

You can explore more photos arranged by theme across all four cohorts on the Photovoice page.
