Our Selves - Photographs by Women Artists from Helen Kornblum - Beau Livre

How have women used photography as a progressive medium ? As a tool of resistance ? As a way of unsetting conversations ? Our Selves spans more than one hundred years of photography, from a turn-od-the-century photographs of racially segragated education in the United States, by Frances Benjamin Johnston, to a contemporary portrait celebrating indigenous art forms, by the Chemehuevi artist Cara Romero.
By looking at the intersections of photography with feminism, civil rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and queer liberation, Our Selves contributes vital insights into figures too often excluded from our current cultural narratives.
