Resilience - Stories of women inspiring change / Resilience - Stories of women inspiring change
The Polish-Japanese Academy of Computer Technology in Gdansk, the World Press Photo Foundation, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Museum of Photography in Krakow (MuFo) present the exhibition Resilience / Resilience. These are stories of women depicted in photographs awarded in World Press Photo competitions between 2000 and 2021, highlighting the resilience and challenges of women, girls and communities around the world.
This collaborative exhibition demonstrates the Netherlands' commitment to women's rights, gender equality and justice. The diverse voices, documented by 17 photographers of 13 different nationalities, offer insights into issues such as sexism, gender-based violence, reproductive rights and access to equal opportunities. The selected stories explore how women and gender issues have evolved in the 21st century and how photojournalism has evolved in the ways they are portrayed. The photographs demonstrate the power of visual storytelling to create mutual understanding and influence or change our views.
The exhibition is presented at the Pejotka Gallery at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, 9/11 Targ Drzewny St., Gdansk, Poland, from: 17.11-08.12.2023 r.
