The curators Katharina Mouratidi, Artistic Director f3 – freiraum für fotografie, and Gisela Kayser, Artistic Director Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus, will open the exhibition.

Women conquered the new medium of photography in the 19th century. As pioneers, they contributed essentially to its development and the emergence of new photographic ways of seeing. Photography enabled women to realize their idea of a self-determined, creative life, to travel and to earn their own money.

The exhibition #womenphotographer Vol. I wants to provide insights into the diverse work of women photographers and to initiate a deeper study of their view of the world.
