This book is a must-read for those who want to explore the possibilities of using Photovoice to engage with healthcare communities. Photovoice is an arts-based approach that provides a valuable mechanism for health advocates to engage people in participatory action research, potentially influencing policy and public opinion. The book showcases a series of photographic art pieces, poetry, prose, and intimate letters that demonstrate how participants find healing, resiliency, empowerment, and freedom through the art lens of boudoir photography.
