FIONA ROGERS

GUEST CURATOR FOR THE ELLES X PARIS PHOTO PROGRAM  

Paris Photo is happy to announce the nomination of Fiona Rogers - curator of the Parasol Foundation Women in Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - for the Elles X Paris Photo program in 2023

« I am delighted to be invited to curate this year’s Elles platform at Paris Photo. This initiative is important to generate visibility and equality for women in art, and mirrors our own ambitions at the V&A to address the historic gender imbalance within our Photography collection and programming. I am looking forward to reviewing a diverse and eclectic selection of international photographers both past and present, and using the opportunity to champion women and other under-represented communities for a space at the table. »

ELLES X PARIS PHOTO

Elles x Paris Photo is a program initiated in 2018 in partnership with the French Ministry of Culture, to promote women artists and their contribution to the history of photography. Since 2019, it is supported by Women In Motion, a Kering program that shines a light on the talent of women in arts and culture. Thanks to the participation of exhibiting galleries, the representation of women artists at the Fair has so far raised from 20% to 32% since the beginning of the Elles X Paris Photo program. The artists receive a yearlong exposure via parisphoto.com with video interviews, resources and statistics dedicated to women in photography.
