We are inspired by women in photography and we are passionate about asserting their place in our art history narratives. \u2193<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We define photography as any creative cultural activity that takes place both inside and outside of established arts organisations and institutions \u2013 that might include photography, moving image, performance, installation, curation and writing with the widest possible public participation on both a local and national level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We define women by any person of any race, creed or colour identifying as female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Women photographers play a vital role in our community and yet their stories are frequently hidden, lost or dismissed. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Photography is known as a democratic medium and involvement with and enjoyment from the photographic arts is a fundamental human right. Lives are enriched by experiences in photography bringing democracy and equality to society when everyone has a right to take part. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • That women artists and photographers contribute to the emancipation of all members of the diverse community despite their gender or sexuality and to striving for equality in a democratic society<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We are calling for<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. A step change for all arts organisations and institutions to commit to exhibiting, commissioning, publishing and collecting at least 50% women\u2019s work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Inclusivity leading to all arts events and activities to address a minimum of 50% of women\u2019s interests and stories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The education system to recognise and value women artists and photographers, and the role they play in society, in their curricula at every level of the system and to provide equal opportunities for female artists and photographers to take part and enrich their curricula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. A more significant encouragement for women to be involved in photography as practioners, as participants and as audiences as part of government policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. The introduction of an arts and cultural strategy for women in all local and national planning that includes an emphasis on the value of photography.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. An innovative and robust approach to financing with key government organisations such as the Arts Council as well as local arts councils being involved in the planning of events and activities that deliberately include women artists and photographers and female audiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. For governments, local and national, to play an active enabling role in both pushing forward innovative ideas and finding ways to fund projects that involve and include women as photographers, artists, writers, curators and audiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    8. A group of sector leaders including the Fast Forward research group to work together to affect change for women photographers and audiences in all aspects of our society. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
