Abstract
This chapter takes a detour from reading images and centers on the author’s collaboration with a community-based organization to co-create an actionable community project. It illustrates how contemporary social theory around images is enacted in a non-academic setting. The chapter begins with a consideration of formulations on the problem of community and a discussion of postfoundational feminist praxis and the difficult work of collaboration across different linguistic registers and pedagogic spaces.
