These anonymised portraits were taken by @emmabrow

These anonymised portraits were taken by @emmabrownphotography from @olive_branch_arts when the organisation teamed up with the Women’s Support Centre in #Armenia for a BEARR-funded project in 2019.

This series, ‘Together’, followed a mother and her three young children when they had just arrived at the shelter & were adjusting to their new surroundings. The photos formed part of a larger exhibition documenting the WSC’s work preventing & responding to domestic violence. The WSC aims to create a safe, supportive space for women & provide practical learning and counselling to bolster self-esteem.

We are thrilled that Emma is one of the panelist’s for our #photographycompetition, alongside photographers @jadwiga_bronte @elyornematov and others.

Send your interpretations of the theme #sidebyside #плечомкплечу to info@bearr.org by 1 June for the chance to win some fantastic prizes and feature in our exhibition!
