HISTORY & THE FRAME
What a portrait records, and the questions it leaves open.
AUTHORSHIP & MEMORY
Julia Chambi López and the work of preserving a photographic history.
The photographs accompanying these notes illustrate the exhibition’s themes. They do not depict the people or organizations discussed unless explicitly identified.
OUR PURPOSE
To see more. To see with care.
Women of Peru is an independent photographic publication about women’s lives across generations. We bring photographs into conversation with documented history, credit their makers, and make the sources easy to find.
This opening exhibition is a beginning. Our ambition is to work with women in Peru as photographers, writers, and editorial collaborators, and to grow through their perspectives.
This collection is a starting point, not a complete history. Some regions, communities and decades are represented more fully than others.
