Refocus is a grassroots organisation that runs participatory photography courses for minority and marginalized groups. Refocus puts the camera into the hands of the learners, giving them the power to depict the realities of their lives as individuals and as groups. As the directors of the organization, we aim to influence Refocus participants by raising their awareness of the plight of others and helping them to foster dialogue both within their communities as well as globally.
