Firecrackers: Female Photographers Now

Join us for a panel discussion with Fiona Rogers, founder of the Firecracker project and co-author of Firecrackers: Female Photographers Now (Thames & Hudson, 2017), on the most inquisitive, intelligent, and daring photography being created by female photographers working today. Rogers founded Firecracker in 2011 to support female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker’s foundations, the newly released book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques, and locations, from Alma Haser’s futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame to Laura El-Tantawy’s filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.

Photographers Cemre Yesil, Diana Markosian, Diana Matar, and Bieke Depoorter, all of whom have work featured in the book, will join Rogers in conversation. Copies of Firecrackers: Female Photographers Now will be for sale after the program.

This is a free event, but please register in advance. ICP Members have access to preferred seating in our reserved members’ section.
