The field of photography as both an artistic and professional discipline has traditionally been dominated by men. However, as we move further into the 21st century, women are increasingly gaining the recognition they deserve.
In this context, the platform Cómo ser Fotógrafa (CSF) (How to Be a Woman Photographer) was created with the goal of showcasing the active and creative role contemporary women photographers have taken on—without which, the artistic landscape would be utterly incomplete.
One of CSF’s main objectives is to highlight the current value of photography created by women, ensuring that art history incorporates this essential element in understanding today’s visual culture.
The exhibition “En Escena” is a statement of intent by the platform. It brings together 32 Spanish and Latin American female artists, showcasing the vital role women photographers play in contemporary art, while inviting the viewer to see the world from their diverse perspectives.
The exhibition spans a wide spectrum of approaches carried out by women from diverse identities and styles. Through their contributions, the photography scene is exponentially enriched, affirming the active participation of these creators in the present day. The goal is not to present a monolithic view of women, but rather to emphasize their plurality and diversity, expanding horizons and claiming spaces that these artists rightfully deserve.
The participating photographers include: Alejandra Carles-Tolrá, Ana Amado, Ana Palacios, Angélica Dass, Clara de Tezanos, Claudia Cebrián, Elena de la Rúa, Elisa Miralles, Estela de Castro, Eva Casanueva, Fabiola Cedillo, Giana de Dier, Gloria Oyarzabal, Ingrid Weyland, Laura Martínez Lombardía, Linarejos Moreno, Lucía Morate, María Platero, Lurdes R. Basolí, Mar Sáez, María Platero, Marta Soul, Pilar Giambastiani, Rocío Bueno, Ros Boisier, Rosa Muñoz, Rosell Meseguer, Sofía Moro, Soledad Córdoba, Suwon Lee and Toya Legido
