International Women In Photo

We are excited to share that the IWPA was featured in a recent article in The Art Newspaper about this year’s Tbilisi Art Fair (TAF). Our first Photo Challenge for Eastern Partnership countries, highlighted at the fair, underscored our commitment to amplifying the voices of women storytellers from the region. This collaboration showcased the extraordinary talent of our photographers and underscored the significant role that IWPA plays in the global art community. The winner of the Challenge , Leli Panchvidze, captivated audiences with her poignant images of Abkhazia, blending past with present in a deeply personal narrative. We are proud to contribute to such influential platforms where the power of photography transcends borders and tells compelling stories. A big thank you to TAF and The Art Newspaper for recognizing our efforts to elevate women’s voices through photography. https://lnkd.in/gywvpgHJ https://lnkd.in/gMnfcfq2 https://lnkd.in/gVKbcDGe https://lnkd.in/gaCXmzdC https://lnkd.in/gHXts4pW https://lnkd.in/gyZAGiMK https://lnkd.in/gDzdTbDP https://lnkd.in/gu8eDqHJ #photography #women #creativity #Georgia

A l'occasion de cette Journée Internationale des Droits des Femmes, nous sommes ravis d'annoncer que, pour une année supplémentaire, Canon France s'associe fièrement à l'association International Women In Photo. L' IWPA s'engage à promouvoir l'égalité à travers la photographie dans le monde entier et à soutenir les femmes photographes et narrateurs visuels de tous horizons. Grâce à des initiatives telles que le Prix Annuel IWPA et les expositions qui se tiennent par la suite au Moyen-Orient, en Asie et en Europe, l'IWPA valorise le travail des femmes photographes, augmentant leur visibilité et leur influence dans un secteur où elles restent sous-représentées. De plus, des programmes d'éducation et de formation contribuent à autonomiser davantage les femmes et les étudiantes, en améliorant leurs compétences et en promouvant la photographie comme un outil puissant de changement social. 📸✨ Aujourd'hui, nous vous présentons l'œuvre inspirante de Lee-Ann Olwage, une conteuse visuelle hors pair originaire d'Afrique du Sud. Axé sur l'identité, la collaboration et la célébration, son travail a pour but de créer un espace où les histoires personnelles sont racontées avec joie et affirmation. Elle est également membre de Native, Women Photograph et African Women in Photography. Découvrez une de ses photos marquantes issue du projet « The Right to Play » (Le Droit de Jouer). Ce projet pose une question fondamentale : "De quoi rêvent les filles ?" et explore les réponses dans un monde où les filles sont valorisées, responsabilisées et où elles peuvent apprendre et rêver sans limites. 🌍 Dans un monde où 129 millions de filles ne sont pas scolarisées et où l'écart de parité de genre s'accroît au-delà de l'enseignement primaire, le travail de Lee-Ann et des initiatives telles que Kakenya's Dream sont essentiels. En mettant l'accent sur l'éducation, la santé et le leadership, ils aspirent à créer un avenir où les filles peuvent s'épanouir librement, loin des pratiques néfastes et des préjugés qui limitent leur potentiel. Par le biais de ce partenariat avec International Women In Photo, Canon France s'engage non seulement à soutenir la créativité et l'expression des femmes photographes, mais aussi à promouvoir un monde plus juste et égalitaire. Rejoignez-nous pour célébrer et soutenir le pouvoir transformateur de l'éducation et de la photographie. Ensemble, faisons la différence, image après image. 💖
