The Through Her Eyes Project

The Through Her Eyes Project is an innovative multimedia project designed to profile girls and women in developing countries who play sports and highlight the benefits they gain. Through visual storytelling, this project aims to share these stories both online and on the ground, to motivate a world of stronger women, families, communities and countries. By sharing these stories we hope to improve the well being of girls and women, accelerate community building and promote social change.

The project was carried out for the first time in Ecuador where we interviewed, photographed and filmed girls and women around the country, who play sports. The exhibit was shown in six cities in Ecuador during the summer of 2011. In the winter of 2011, the project was invited to be showcased at the South American Beach Games in Manta, Ecuador.

The exhibit was shown for the first time in the U.S. on June 1-3 at the Chicago Art Department.

From November to January 2013 visit the Chicago Art District showPODs located on the 1800 block of South Halsted Street to see some of the work in person.
