A Talk & Visual Discussion on Women in Photography on March 8 – International Women's Day
This workshop is a reflective and discussion-based session dedicated to women photographers whose work fundamentally changed the way we see the world.

Rather than focusing on technical skills, this talk explores vision, perspective, and visual voice—how different ways of seeing have shaped the history of photography and continue to influence contemporary image-making.

Through carefully selected images and guided discussion, we will look at how these photographers challenged norms, expanded subject matter, and redefined what photography could express.

This is not a history lecture.
It is a conversation about seeing.
