Interfaith Photovoice founder and director Roman Williams had the privilege to attend the conference from June 5-6th on the Tri-Faith Commons in Omaha and to share on how photovoice can be used to meet the multi-faced needs of our religiously and racially diverse communities.

Our partner’s name on this contest, Interfaith America, is emblematic of the photos we received and of the photos that we celebrate as winners. The holidays represented in the winning pictures come from a variety of faith traditions, including the Hindu, Christian, and Islamic traditions, and several of the photographers do not come from the religions represented in their photos.

Join us on Tuesday, June 25th from 1:00 to 2:00 PM EDT for our online showcase exhibit from our Spring 2024 training group.

The path to pluralism requires humility. I learned this the old fashioned way: by failing.

We’re excited to announce a new collaboration with the Fetzer Institute that will explore the ways religion, faith and spirituality show up in everyday life. It’s called Seeing the Sacred in Everyday Life.

The introduction of photovoice for interreligious engagement was an important step for enhancing worldview inclusivity at Dartmouth and raising awareness of avenues for improvement in terms of interfaith engagement.

“It becomes very troubling sometimes to try to figure that out. But there are places like Interfaith Photovoice that I feel that I can really belong without fear or rejection.”

“These students are creating a work of visual sociology,” said Roman Williams, founder and director of Interfaith Photovoice. “Their images are research, documentaries, working to provide a voice to their religious, secular or spiritual identities.”

“The Interfaith Photovoice project helped open my worldview.”

The project was designed to strengthen relationships on campus, create a sense of solidarity and belonging among the participating students, raise awareness of experiential differences on campus, and instigate change.

Our polarization is one of the few things Americans seem to agree on…That’s why the work of Braver Angels, an organization dedicated to reducing political polarization in America, is work that meets the moment.

If you are a teenager curious about what life is like across the United States and have a smartphone or camera, we have an opportunity for you!

Katie Lenhart, College Photographer at Dartmouth College, reflects at the opening of the photo gallery on the learning she witnessed in the group meetings at the first Interfaith Photovoice project on Dartmouth's campus with The William Jewett Tucker Center.

“It’s a different experience to get used to a campus where I’m seeing something that conflicts with my worldview and to just say ‘people have their own experiences, I have my own preferences and to learn to co-exist with that,.”

We are excited to begin our search for the Diversity, Dialogue, & Interfaith Engagement Internship! We will be taking on several internships for the upcoming Fall 2024 - Spring 2025 academic year.

When space is created for interactions like this, our world becomes just a little bit more welcoming and full of belonging.

“The process of taking part in Interfaith Photovoice was the fodder for deep, meaningful friendships and embodied learning that will live on with us for our lifetimes.”

“Of all the photographs in the show, Henderson has taken the greatest aesthetic risk. I could see this picture hanging in the Museum of Modern Art.”

“One thing I’ve learned is that there is no such thing as the right way to make great photographs.”

Photography can “help us reflect on the world, our place within the world, and what it means to be alive.”
