Women in the photobook world: from shooting to publishing, from creating awareness to collecting

November 15, 4pm

PHOTO VOGUE FESTIVAL / BASE

Via Bergognone, 34, 20144 Milan

talk in English

The release of the book How We See: Photobooks by Women (10x10 Photobooks, 2018 and 2019) marked an important turning point in how women's photobooks are studied and collected.

According to a research conducted by the American organization that published the book, between 2013 and 2017 only 16% of the volumes on sale online and in the major bookstores were made by women, whereas the production is substantially equivalent.

Beside co-editing The Gould Collection, writing and collecting, Russet Lederman is co-founder of 10 x 10 Photobooks. She will talk about her own experience and introduce publications from these internationally renowned publishing ventures.

Jenya Fridlyand, photographer and educator based in New York City and the Hudson Valley, is the author of Entrance to the Valley, artist book shortlisted at the Paris Photo-Aperture First Photobook Award in 2017 and now realeased by TIS Books. Fridlyand is also co-founder of Image Threads, a non-profit photobook teaching collective.

Andrea Modica is an American photographer and professor now living in Philadelphia; a Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Scholar, she has already published eleven monographs with prestigious publishers (including Nazraeli Press and L'Artiere), while she is working on the publication of a new volume with TIS Books called Discipline Equestri.

Three women, three important experiences in the international photobook world. The talk is organized in connection with the pop-up store at Micamera and perfectly in line with the festival’s statement: Deconstructing stereotypes.

talk in Inglese

L’uscita del volume How We See: Photobooks by Women (10x10 Photobooks, 2018 e 2019) ha segnato una svolta importante nello studio e nella raccolta dei libri fotografici al femminile.

Stando a una ricerca condotta dall’associazione americana che ha pubblicato il volume, tra il 2013 e il 2017 solo il 16% dei libri di fotografia in vendita on line e presso le maggiori librerie era realizzato da una donna, a fronte di una produzione sostanzialmente equivalente nei numeri.

Russet Lederman, oltre a essere co-fondatrice di The Gould Collection, scrittrice e collezionista, ha contribuito a creare l’associazione 10 x 10 Photobooks. Parlerà della propria esperienza e introdurrà la riflessione e il dialogo con due autrici di fama internazionale.

Jenya Fridlyand, autrice e insegnante stanziata a New York City e nella Hudson Valley, è l’autrice di Entrance to the Valley, libro d’artista selezionato tra i finalisti del Paris Photo-Aperture First Photobook Prize nel 2017 e ora finalmente pubblicato dalla casa editrice TIS Books. Fridlyand è anche co-fondatrice di Image Threads, collettivo no-profit per l’insegnamento della cultura e produzione del libro fotografico.

Andrea Modica è una fotografa e docente americana; Guggenheim Fellow e Fulbright Scholar. ha pubblicato già undici titoli con editori di prestigio (tra questi, anche Nazraeli Press e gli italiani de L’Artiere), mentre sta lavorando alla pubblicazione di una nuova monografia dal titolo Discipline Equestri con la casa editrice TIS Books.

Tre donne, tre esperienze importanti nel mondo dell’editoria fotografica internazionale in un incontro organizzato in connessione con il pop-up store presso la libreria Micamera e in perfetta sintonia con il tema del Festival, che vuole decostruire stereotipi.
