This article reflects about the Extension in Photography, Feminism and Various Women course case, mediated by Universidade Estadual do Piauí (Uespi), through Extension, Students’ and Community Affairs Pro-rectory. The course is a provocation of social and student movements connected to feminism for reflections, through images, on questions linked to women on Piauí State. The work describes pictures and analyses the course consequences, among discussions, discriminations, and consequences. Methodologically, it stands out a qualitative approach, through a case study, with a report of practical and social activities. The course relied on the participation of social activists, members of the community in general, and members of the student and teaching staff from this institution, among men and women. The works of this course culminated in five photographic exhibitions, with almost 400 photographies (amongst more of 15,000 made on practical activities) which may move around Piauí and help to demystify the questions related to feminism and to enlighten about the importance of discussions on this subject.   KEYWORDS: Social communication; University Extension; Feminism; Photography; Universidade Estadual do Piauí.
