209 Women Exhibition

So proud to have been part of this project, 209 Women!

To mark the centennial of women achieving the right to vote, the 209 Women initiative is staged an all-female portrait takeover of Parliament for 3 months. 

Since 1918 there have been 491 women MPs comparing to 4503 men. To champion the visibility of women in politics and the arts, we  replaced the existing portraits of MP’s in parliament (mostly of men made by other men) with 209 portraits of female MPs, taken by 209 incredible female photographers.
