This article explores how photography, combined with the Everyday Peace Indicators approach, helps war-affected communities in Colombia express and build peace and justice. In villages like San José de Urama and Las Cruces, residents used a method called photovoice to visually document what peace, justice, and coexistence mean in their daily lives. Their images captured themes such as safety, family unity, truth-telling, collective labor, and community care. These photo stories not only sparked healing and pride but also prompted collective action—like restoring a neglected cemetery. The project shows how photography can amplify local voices and shape more grounded, people-centered peacebuilding efforts.
