Portrait of a Refugee Farmer

For this project, I was selected by the Emory University Center for Ethics to use art to highlight social issues in Atlanta. I partnered with Global Growers to create inviting images of refugee farmers from Myanmar, Bhutan, Burundi, and Burma. For a full semester, I led a team of eight Emory students on a journey to learn how to conduct a photographic ethnography project with social sensitivity and location research. I split the group into roles based on their strengths and interests to include videographers, photographer assistants, location scouts and translators/interviewers.
