Summary In this conversation, Chris Chinnock and Cormac Russell discuss the concepts of asset-based community development (ABCD) and participatory photography. Exploring the idea of a good life and how it can be interpreted in different ways by individuals and communities. They emphasize the importance of building relationships and trust when working with communities, and the need to relocate authority to the community level. They also discuss the power dynamics between institutions and communities, and the limitations of top-down approaches. The conversation highlights the value of using photographs as a tool for expression and storytelling, and the role of community associations in building collective strength. The conversation explores the power of community and the importance of recognizing and valuing the contributions of individuals within a community. It emphasizes the need for institutions to shift from a mindset of doing things to people to one of working with people. The conversation also highlights the role of storytelling and photography in capturing the essence of a community and challenging negative narratives. The upcoming book by Cormac Russell will focus on the concept of 'harmless help' and the universal practices that can support effective community engagement.
