This article presents the outcomes of a photovoice workshop implemented in an academically gifted program in Pennsylvania, United States. The study's primary objective was to investigate the efficacy of photovoice, using cyanotype-style photographs, when used as an educational strategy for enhancing the cultural literacy experiences of gifted middle school students through creativity and discussion. The project, which involved 36 sixth-grade students aged 11–12, was led by an associate professor from the University of Delaware's Department of Art and Design in conjunction with the school's gifted education teachers. The thematic analysis of student work, using Hall’s (1976) Cultural Iceberg Theory, demonstrated the effectiveness of the photovoice workshop in fostering cultural literacy. The workshop ultimately fostered the students' understanding of various aspects and dimensions of cultural competence. • Photovoice, as an educational strategy, supports students' engagement, and applies to a wide range of students. • Gifted students explored what culture means to them, fostering a shared language to develop cultural literacy skills. • Combining cyanotype and photovoice procedures cultivate critical thinking and reflection
