Colabore, co-crie e participe
Summary
The document advocates for a shift from 'hero-based' narratives to collective, consensual processes in photography and storytelling involving Indigenous Peoples. It emphasizes that the process of engagement must precede the final product, requiring transparency, mutual support, and the active participation of Indigenous communities in deciding how they are represented and which images are published.
Key insights
- Media production with Indigenous Peoples should be a participatory and co-creative effort from start to finish, prioritizing the process and community consensus over the final product to ensure equality and justice.
- Ethical visual storytelling requires a horizontal relationship where Indigenous subjects have agency over their images, including the ability to choose which photos are published or to delete those they dislike.
- The document contrasts ethical engagement, such as Claudia Andujar's focus on intimacy and relationship with the Yanomami, with unethical practices where photographers hide from subjects or enter territories without prior consultation.
- Effective collaboration involves moving away from the narrative of 'telling a story' about a community toward a model of co-creating the story together and providing tools for the community to tell their own story.
- Systemic diversity and inequality issues in image creation should be addressed by ensuring photographic research and productions are created in participation or co-authorship with Indigenous representatives, including fair payment of fees.
