Through a Woman's Lens: A Lecture by J. Sybylla Smith
North Shore Photography Lecture Series
Our understanding of what is history-making and newsworthy has been predominately defined and captured through a patriarchal lens.
Smith's article in ZEKE magazine illustrates the myriad ways in which women photographers have always been in the picture despite historically inequitable access—seeking truth, bearing witness and making invaluable contributions. She looks back to reclaim history and honor the creative strategies of these women. She also looks at innovative storytelling by contemporary women whose practices illustrate how seeing the world through a woman’s lens concurrently informs and transforms photojournalism and our understanding of the truth.
