CLIMATE FEMINISM? EXPLORATIONS AND REFLECTIONS WITH YOUR CAMERA

Artists and activists have used photography as a political tool as well as a method of self-exploration. By taking control of the camera, photographers can create visual stories of varied experiences and perspectives, with the potential of challenging dominant ways of viewing. Based upon this rationale and the feminist notion ‘the personal is political’, the workshop facilitates 'auto-photography', a practice that incorporates self-imaging and self-reflection, to explore what ‘climate feminism’ might mean. What are the complex experiences of climate injustice for women in different contexts? How might local and global activisms be connected to generate change: what kinds of change, and for whom? This event is part of the York International Women's Week 2022 programme.
