Abstract / Summary

Focussed on photography as a medium employed to counter patriarchal powers, uncover abuse, or document social resistance, our selection of articles celebrates the courage of female and non-binary people from around the world. We invite you to engage with them as, among many other forms of abuse and marginalisation, they oppose traditions, corruption, unfair treatment, or violence across all sections of their societies. First conceived by our brilliant guest editor Kylie Thomas from the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam, this issue documents how photography links with political, artistic, and personal moments of resistance on a larger or smaller scale.

It took us over a year to commission, peer review and edit this issue with Kylie and her energetic collaborator, Brian Müller, a South African-born scholar based in Canada. Their drive to reach out to academics, artists and journalists helped start and develop this project, which was supported by a European Commission grant.* We hope that the writing and images you encounter in this issue will move, inspire, and above all, serve to remind you that resistance is always necessary and appropriate.
