Beyond The Frame: Young Perspectives on Diversity in Faith

Description

A woman ends her meditation in the shrine room by extinguishing the candle. She belongs to the Vajrayana Buddhist community.

This image is part of the project "Beyond The Frame: Young Perspectives on Diversity in Faith." It shows a Tibetan Buddhist home altar with a Buddha statue and offerings made on Dakini Day. Dakini Day is celebrated on the 25th day of the Tibetan lunar calendar.

This photo was taken as part of the project “Beyond The Frame: Young Perspectives on Diversity in Faith” by Neue Deutsche Medienmacherinnen. The project promoted a diverse and discrimination-sensitive portrayal of religions in the media. Between June and October 2025, young (photo)journalists took part in workshops on discrimination-sensitive photojournalism and, in an accompanied practical phase, portrayed young religious people from Berlin in their everyday lives. The project created new images beyond stereotypical representations of religions, empowered young BIPoC media professionals, promoted interreligious dialogue, and made the diversity of faith in urban areas visible.
