Established in 2010 by Dr. Claudia Mitchell, the PCL is organized around the study and use of visual and participatory approaches to research and social action. Our work includes the study and use of visual tools such as digital storytelling, photovoice, participatory video, participatory archiving, cellphilms, objects and things, collage, and other arts-based approaches in the process of collecting, analyzing, and working with research data.

The PCL hosts the yearly McGill International Cellphilm Festival. For more information about the festival, visit our website: internationalcellphilmfestival.com
