On the 25 July 2026 I had the pleasure of speaking alongside Clare Samuel from Feminist Photography Network in our panel discussion titled "Contemporary Feminist Photography" at the Experimental Photography Festival in Barcelona, Spain.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in person and online. 

It was incredible to see so many familiar and new faces in the audience. A massive thank you to Clare for your incredible presentation. I was blown away by all of the inspiring artists that you shared.

Thank you to the Experimental Photography Festival for inviting us to speak and providing us space to share the works by our favorite artists.

And thank you to everyone who was able to join online. It is really special to have these discussions with so many people around the world.

It was an absolute pleasure interviewing Riya Panwar for this month's Women Alternative Photography Group Interview.

It was fascinating learning about how Riya explores themes of decay and ephemerality in her work.

Experimental Photography Festival Online Conference

Contemporary Feminist Photography with Women Alternative Photography Group and Feminist Photography Network
Saturday 25 July from 17.30 – 18.30 

​Get your tickets

This conference brings together two international platforms dedicated to thinking, producing and promoting contemporary photography from feminist perspectives. Women Alternative Photography Group and Feminist Photography Network will share their experiences, methodologies and recent projects, addressing different forms of collaboration, visibility, publishing and collective creation within the current photographic field.

Feminist Photography Network will present its work through its editorial projects and online residencies, which connect artists from different geographical contexts. The presentation will focus on how the network creates spaces for exchange, support and dissemination for women photographers and visual artists, bringing feminist practices, collaborative processes and new forms of international circulation into dialogue.

Women Alternative Photography Group will approach feminist photography from the field of alternative and experimental processes, exploring how manual, analogue and expanded photographic techniques can become tools for research, expression and critical positioning. Their perspective will bring a focus on materiality, the body, experimentation and shared creation.

Sophie Sherwood from Folk House Darkroom and I are so excited to announce the list of speakers for our upcoming event The Art of Experimentation Symposium. This symposium will bring together presentations from contemporary artists and researchers who are exploring the possibilities of alternative photographic processes. This symposium considers how contemporary practitioners are using innovative and unique approaches to photography to explore the possibilities of light sensitive materials.
