The event took place on Saturday 25 July from 17.30 – 18.30 as part of the Experimental Photography Festival in person and streamed online.

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

Clare Samuel from Feminist Photography Network presented its work through its editorial projects and online residencies, which connect artists from different geographical contexts. The presentation focused 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.

Elizabeth Ransom from Women Alternative Photography Group approached 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 brings a focus on materiality, the body, experimentation and shared creation.
