A series of lectures and workshops for people interested in a women’s perspective of art history, curation and for photographers who are looking to create something different.
So, why a workshop on Women in Photography? The importance of balanced imagery has never been more important or more relevant. This series of lectures and workshops has been designed to empower photographers, art historians and curators by looking at photography through the female lens.
