More of our White Papers:
"I'd Be Empowered If... " - Unlocking True Empowerment for Africa Women in Photography
This white paper, created alongside the "I'd Be Empowered If" exhibition examines the complexities of empowerment. As stated in the abstract, structural barriers impede access to resources, hindering progress. We explore how photography, as seen in this exhibition, can be a powerful tool for change, redefining narratives and promoting equity.
