Questions we have been exploring at the Reproductive Justice + Photography workshops

Tribesty Nguyen and Boma Brown have been facilitating workshops on Reproductive Justice and photography. The last workshop takes place this Saturday (March 15).

Here are some questions we've explored so far:

Workshop 1

Why is reproductive justice important?

What is choice, and what factors impact a real choice to reproduce or not, reproductive justice, for women of color?

Workshop 2

We watched the video below and brainstormed the following question:

The ability of women to control what happens to our bodies is constantly challenged by poverty, racism, environmental degradation, sexism, and homophobia

•What is the statement saying?

•What do these terms means?

•Do you agree that these factors impact the ability of women to control what happens to their bodies? 

•How? Can you think of examples?

Photography prompt questions:

Workshop 1: Take a photo that provides your personal interpretation of the following question:

-My body is...?

Workshop 2: Take a photo which illustrates what control over your body looks like to you

-take a photo to illustrate something positive and something negative about what was just discussed
