Visualising Humanitarian Crises: Transforming Images and Aid Policy

该项目旨在利用图像的力量来改变援助的做法。目前流行的人道主义危机可视化是强有力的，但也存在问题。它们往往以暴力为重点，以陈规定型和非人性化的方式描绘受害者。该项目通过与澳大利亚和国际领先的行业合作伙伴的跨学科合作，开发新的基于证据的视觉策略。预期成果包括最佳实践指南，使人道主义组织能够更好地帮助有需要的人，并为持久的政治解决方案做出贡献。在人道主义关切日益成为全球稳定和澳大利亚国家利益的核心之际，由此带来的好处是更有效的援助政策。

This project aims to draw on the power of images to transform practices of aid. Prevailing visualisations of humanitarian crises are powerful but problematic. They often focus on violence and depict victims in stereotypical and dehumanising ways. The project develops new evidence-based visual strategies through interdisciplinary collaborations with leading industry partners in Australia and internationally. Expected outcomes include best practice guidelines that better equip humanitarian organisations to help people in need and contribute to enduring political solutions. Resulting benefits are more effective aid policies at a time when humanitarian concerns are increasingly central to global stability and Australia’s national interest.
