New WAPG Interview with Anne Eder

2/26/2026

It was an absolute pleasure to interview Anne Eder for the first Women Alternative Photography Group interview of 2026.

Anne's images showcase large scale mythical creatures that she creates using objects found in nature. She weaves fiction and folklore into her visual narratives. These fantastical scenes come to life through the use of alternative photographic processes such as anthotypes.

You can now read the full interview over on the Women Alternative Photography Group website.

Women of Photography Conference-a-thon

2/26/2026

I am so excited to announce that I will be sharing my new research at the Women of Photography Conferenceathon this international Women's Day on March 8.

For this research I had the absolute honour of interviewing Natali Bravo-Barbee, Eugenie Flochel, and Sujata Setia. I will be sharing insights from these interviews along with their powerful projects that deal with themes of gender based violence, survival, and femicide.

Below I've included my abstract if anyone is interested in joining the conference. I present at 10:44-11:03pm (UTC). That's 2:38pm (PST) for those on the West Coast of America. The link for free tickets is in my bio.

Exposing Violence: Women Using Experimental Photography to Confront Gendered Violence

This paper analyses experimental photographic works addressing gender‑based violence, created either by survivors or by artists who foreground women’s oppression. Using methods such as cyanotype, surface interventions, and lumen printing, these works visualize women’s narratives and expose structures of violence. Drawing on feminist frameworks by Françoise Vergès and Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, the paper shows how alternative processes can challenge conventional representations of abuse and offer platforms for survivor voices. This research highlights case studies whose projects address femicide, domestic abuse, and other gender-based violence.
