Ukrainian photography has a rich history, and women have played an important part in it. With Alia Siehal we continue exploring the role of women in photography, this time in the Ukrainian context.

We will discuss:

• how women’s role in photography developed in different regions of Ukraine in Soviet times
• women in photographic associations
• Ukrainian photography today: key series made by women
