In this chapter, we discuss a group of photographs taken by students who live in slums of the global south. The images embody realities often denied or forgotten. In these images, the foreground gains terrain and what Deleuze describes as the process of giving a face takes place. We set out to address the lines of a relationship where the word retreats such that its bridges to the world dissolve; the silences that urban experience, in the global south,  confronts us with emerge in the images produced by these young people. It is this experience that these young people photograph and name ?screaming silences.?
