Visit the Participate page to view the current prompt. Spend about a week photographing in response.

Upload up to 10 photos (JPEG or PNG, under 10MB each) with brief captions, add a short reflection about the experience, and select three images that represent the beginning, middle, and end of your story with basic context (who, where, when, why).

Avoid including recognizable faces or identifying details unless you have explicit consent. Do not include other people without permission.

Images can be black and white or color, but they must be your own original photographs.

If you are unsure whether an image is appropriate, please reach out before submitting

Selected photographs and reflections may be curated into digital exhibitions, in person exhibitions, the Her Voice In Photos website, or social and educational materials. Credit is always given unless you request anonymity.

Any use beyond the project website requires explicit consent, and participants will be contacted before their work is shared in new contexts.

When an exhibition goes live, updates will be posted on the Exhibitions page.

Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis. Timelines vary, but selected participants are typically contacted within two to four weeks.

Updates about exhibitions and published work will appear on the Exhibitions page.

Her Voice In Photos is art therapy informed, not art therapy. It is grounded in research on narrative identity, reflection, and creative processes, but it is not a clinical intervention and does not involve diagnosis, treatment, or therapy.

Participation is voluntary, self directed, and reflective rather than therapeutic.

The project follows trauma informed principles: choice, consent, pacing, and participant control over what is shared and how it is presented.

If reflection brings up strong feelings, you are encouraged to pause and seek additional support.

This project is not a substitute for therapy. Please reach out to a licensed mental health professional or trusted healthcare provider if distress arises.

Emergency or crisis support information will be provided on Resources page.
