209 Women

209 Women photographing 209 Women MP's.

Marking 100 years on from since the first women achieved the vote, this project highlights the visibility of Women. I am proud to be part of the this project, recently photographing Stella Creasy, my local MP in Walthamstow. The portraits will be exhibited in Westminster from 14th December - February, it will be free to the public. The exhibition will then move to Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool in 2019.

209 Women' is a national artist-led project founded by Hilary Wood that aims to champion the visibility of women, particularly in male-dominated environments. This campaign supports 209 women photographers across the UK to make portraits of women MP

“The focus in politics has rightly been on getting a critical mass of women involved. But it is the same issue in many sectors, including art itself. The works will show that women can and ought to be portrayed in all their diversity. There is no one way to be a woman artist, to be a woman politician, to be a woman."

The exhibition was exhibited in Portcullis House, Westminster and Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool between December 2018 and April 2019.

209 Women the book will be published in June 2019
