Women in Photography - South of the River

About

Poetry and short story readings with tea and cakes with Anne-Marie Glasheen, Joan Byrne and Pia Randall-Goddard - Sunday 15th March 3.00 - 4.30 p.m. This exhibition celebrates the work of diverse women photographers in South London and marks the return of The International Women's Week show at the Lewisham Arthouse, which is linked to a worldwide celebration of women's achievements. Traditionally International Women's Day takes place on 8 March each year and is celebrated all around the world to mark women's struggle for equal rights, justice, peace and progress. We aim to reflect the innovation, diversity, and creativity of women in photography reaching out to a broad range of practitioners, from local colleges, artist's studios, community groups and schools. This work contributes to the outstanding achievement of female photographers world wide, which has been recently been reflected in block busting exhibitions at The National Portrait Gallery. Submission to the exhibition has been open and unrestricted and promises to be refreshing and stimulating for all our visiting public.
