the project
SHOOTING WITHOUT BULLETS is pleased to announce its first exhibition, “Shooting Without Bullets: Using Photovoice To Capture Cleveland Youth Perspectives.”
Shooting Without Bullets is a revolutionary youth advocacy and fine arts education program that focuses on identity development in black teens in Cleveland through expressive arts healing, photography, and open-dialogue. The program assists Cleveland youth to process complex social problems experienced by them, including police encounters and provides an expressive platform for them to inform and impact criminal and juvenile justice related reform.
The exhibition will show experiences of black youth that ordinarily would not be heard in public decision-making processes and will give them a fair chance to speak for themselves through photography.
By giving them a fair chance to speak for themselves through photovoice, we bridge the broader concerns and views of Cleveland youth with current efforts in our community to reform how police treat young people.
Creative Director, Amanda King, will also present highlights from her policy brief that focuses on using photovoice to capture youth perspectives to inform reform processes.
Exhibition Collaborators Include:
- 3R’s+
- NewBridge Center for Arts and Technology
- Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association
- Community Partnerships For Arts and Culture
- The Schubert Center For Child Studies
- CWRU Think [Box]
- Case Western Reserve University School of Law

why we're doing it
In the context of police reform, we often forget that black youth have important viewpoints and ideas to offer during critical discussions about issues directly affecting their lives. With a narrow focus on the perspectives of the “adults” in the situation, black youth voices are routinely rendered invisible. The exhibit will bring visibility to their issues and allow them to be agents of change in their community.
