Making the invisible visible: documenting slow violence through photovoice with youth in Nevada

Conditions for slow violence, a type of environmental injustice that is hidden and occurs over time, are rife in Nevada. Research can be used to make these hidden problems visible in order to solve them, which this study aims to do through photovoice with youth in Nevada. The youth found that slow violence was common in their neighborhoods, slow violence impacted vulnerable people in their neighborhoods more than others, and accumulated due to inequitable services/infrastructure. Their solutions focused on how the community could band together, along the lines of People as Infrastructure theory.
