Photography meets Feminism: Australian women photographers 1970s-80s
A snapshot of a pivotal time for the feminist movement in Australia, this exhibition of vintage photographic prints reveals a social consciousness that influenced the success and development of Australian women photographers in the 1970s-80s.
Using the medium to engage with contemporary life, feminists fostered technical innovations that transformed the visual culture in Australia. Showcasing prints unseen for decades, the social commentaries expressed by these works hold enduring relevance that continue in today’s context. A Monash Gallery of Art travelling exhibition, it is an expansive survey of pivotal artists that shaped the image of women in Australia’s history.
