Associazione Culturale ZaLab
ZaLab has been working with images and film, towards concrete social change, mainly through Participatory Video (PV) techniques. The PV laboratories are addressed at those living in marginalized conditions and who are usually not given voice and right to express themselves or their viewpoint on society. In PV methodology, a group or community is involved to become the protagonists of the storytelling process, through which the participants also develop self-awareness and new social and technical skills. Over the last 15 years, ZaLab has been leading several laboratories all over the world: in the Tunisian desert, in a West Bank Palestinian village, in Barcelona, Brussels, Melbourne, and, of course, in several Italian cities and suburbs, involving migrants, asylum seekers, 2nd-generations, children, cultural operators and social workers.
