Mulheres Luz - photographers and women of the image
Mulheres Luz was born to make the material produced by female photographers and women who work in this field in Brazil more accessible and so have their work better seen and disseminated. Bringing together essays and portfolios of various themes, periods of time, and territories, as well as researches and cultural publications.
The platform proposes to act as a professional network, a tool that allows the national and international markets to find, by region and segment, the women who are part of the broad productive chain of making and thinking photography.
A diversified place of action, speech, and listening to host meetings, connections, and collaborations to stimulate and strengthen the production of stories with a standpoint and the intention of contributing to the disruption of systems that are repeated and established based on a logic in which women are not seen. It is urgent to fill gaps in time and space and not allow erasures.
A net under construction and an invitation to take up spaces and promote changes. Together!
The project is conceived by the editor, curator, and producer Mônica Maia, in partnership with Frida Produção Cultural, of executive producers Ana Silvia Forgiarini and Mariane Goldberg, and is developed by the editors and producers Ivana Debértolis and Livia Bitetti, with the accompaniment of journalist, photography critic and university professor Simonetta Persichetti, with design and communication assistance by Fernanda Masini.
