#DYSTURB

Launched in 2014 by a group of photojournalists, writers, and artists, Dysturb presents contemporary global issues in an innovative way, completely independent from the restrictions of conventional news publishing channels, using the most basic of social networks: the streets.

This creative community began pasting mural-sized guerrilla blow ups in public places: city walls, skate parks, and school hallways. In stark black and white, they make billboard sized prints of news images from photojournalists around the world, on a scale usually only seen in color commercial advertisements, to bring crucial subjects ––like climate change, women’s issues, refugee crisis––and place them directly in front of people’s eyes.

My focus for this organization was on social media content curation, audience development, and online editorial direction for the blog. I also worked on community development, which led me to work on partnerships with secondary schools and colleges and to help with them developing their youth outreach program. I have worked on Campaigns: #ENDFGM with the UNFPA, #WomenMatter, #IWD2016 with the European Parliament, #ReframeClimate with Magnum Foundation, Yale, Twilio; Foam Magazine: Rise of Populism, the United Nations' 70th Anniversary; Visa pour l'Image Festival, among others. Partnerships I have worked on include Instagram, Global Media Campaign to End FGM, among others. Instagram influencers that have aided our reach on interventions include Cameron Russell, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Johanna Tordjman, among others.
