Learn about Women Photographers 1900–1975: A Legacy of Light, an exhibition that celebrates the wide-ranging photographic practices of more than seventy women artists working in the early twentieth century.
Coinciding with the fifty-year anniversary of International Women’s Year 1975, the exhibition explores the ways in which women artists create an image of themselves, of others, of the times – from images of the women’s suffrage movement through to the women’s liberation movement and beyond.
Maggie Finch, NGV Curator of Photography, introduces the exhibition exclusively for Members and their guests, prior to the exclusive Members Preview from 2–5pm. Learn more about Members Preview: Women Photographers 1900–1975
