In partnership with Fast Forward: Women in Photography, Autograph worked with seven women from refugee backgrounds who identify as LGBTQIA+ from the Rainbow Sisters, a network facilitated by the charity Women For Refugee Women.
The group were supported to develop creative story-telling and visual literacy skills to document their lives. Working in response to a poetry session led by Josephine Carter, participants considered how words and language can sit together with images, using the guided storytelling framework: I Was / I Am / I Will Be. The group then worked with artist Aida Silvestri to create polaroid images with a focus on gesture and pose.

A collaborative mentoring programme, developing visual literacy skills and confidence, delivered in partnership with Fast Forward: Women in Photography and Women for Refugee Women
