FotoEvidence Launches The W Award for Women

FotoEvidence Women is a new chapter of FotoEvidence Press, a space for free expression, devoted to engaged women photographers who want to tell their stories in the form of a photo book. Through their lenses women can shape the world differently and we want to give them this chance.

At this moment, women around the world are seeking equal rights and equal opportunity. The FotoEvidence W Award for Personal Story will suppot this movement. It will be granted by a selection committee to one woman whose work merits a book. The hardbound book will be published by FotoEvidence. Two other photographers will receive honorable mentions.

A Woman Has A Thousand Hearts

by Anahit Hayrapetyan

For a long time, I have returned off and on to the same topic - abuse and violence against women. Working for years in Armenia on the same topic, I have shared a lot with viewers and you may already be listening to stories like this more or less with a cold heart. But it is not possible to listen to such stories without tears..

Interview with Fatemeh BehboudiBy Susann Tischendorf

"I was born during the Iran-Iraq war (1979) and I have witnessed the deep wounds of war in people's lives since childhood and have felt their pains closely. Two of my family members were killed in Saddam's bombing of Kashan city and another one was martyred during the war. I have spent all my childhood and adolescence during war and creating an image of this issue is especially important to me." Read to interview here.

FAITH by Cris Suspect

FAITH tells a powerful visual story about a community’s response to discrimination, both racial and religious.

It takes the viewer into both realms, the erotic and the religious, juxtaposing their erotic freedom with the traditional solemnity of their church. Despite the striking visual contrast between these two realms, they both embody the self-empowerment and determination of a unique community.
