Abstract

AbstractThis article explores the implications of the Making Home Project, a participatory audio‐visual media project with migrant and refugee youth in Iran. This project does not picture the faces of youth as they express caring relationships and attachments to the people and places within the migrant neighborhoods where they reside—places locally characterized as poor, dangerous, and transient. I examine the audio, the visual and the off‐screen encounters of this participatory production to demonstrate how media outcomes are shaped by Afghan youth's differently situated refugee experiences in Iran. Ultimately, I argue that space and place are actualized through the embodied act of youth expressing and producing audio‐visual media about their homeplace.
