Woman UP! Podcast Series 2, Episode 13 Christmas Special - Guerrilla Girls

By on

15th December 2020

- Feminist art, mother artist, podcast, visual art, women artists

The Guerrilla Girls are anonymous artist activists who use disruptive headlines, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art, film, politics and pop culture. They believe in an intersectional feminism that fights for human rights for all people and all genders. They undermine the idea if a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair.

Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly is the first book to document their hundreds of street projects all over the world as well as interventions and exhibitions blasting museums on their own walls for their discriminatory practices.

The Guerrilla Girls’ motto: Do one thing. If it works, do another. If it doesn’t, do another anyway. Keep chipping away. Creative complaining works!

By on

1st November 2020

- Feminist art, mother artist, podcast, visual art, women artists

Emma’s work often focusses on honesty, action and a playfully destructive DIY aesthetic using materials with different transformative properties - such as water, clay, earth, salt and ink - to create strong visual imagery which is often messy, intense and celebratory. In recent years, her work has been focussed on the None of Us is Yet a Robot project, a series of performance pieces recently published by Oberon Books as “None of Us is Yet a Robot - Five Performances on Gender Identity and the Politics of Transition”.

In 2013 Emma was a featured artist at the British Council Showcase and since then she performed in Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro, Jakarta, Toronto and across the UK & Europe. As a performer and dramaturg Emma collaborated with many companies including WildWorks, Rachel Mars, Chris Goode & Company, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Stratford Festival (ON), Theatre Royal Stratford East and for BBC radio drama and television.

Woman UP! Podcast Series 2, Episode 8 - Women Picturing Revolution

By on

1st September 2020

- Feminist art, mother artist, podcast, visual art, women artists


Through leading seminars, curating panels, and consulting services, Women Picturing Revolution (WPR) co-creators Lesly Deschler Canossi and Zoraida Lopez-Diago are reclaiming and retelling history in a manner that is both radical and necessary. By highlighting the work of female photographers who have documented conflicts, crises, and revolution in private realms and public spaces, WPR sheds light on personal and political experiences that are often overlooked or underrepresented. From fine art photography made as a response to forced silence, oppression, and the inability to act, to well-known visual journalists documenting upheaval, Lesly and Zoraida, along with WPR participants, examine not only the photographs but also the conditions under which women make images. Through a better understanding of how women document resilience, resistance, and creative survival, WPR hopes to propel all of us towards progress.




Zoraida Lopez-Diago is a photographer, curator, activist and co-founder of Women Picturing Revolution (WPR). Her photographs center around themes of migration, incarceration, and the undocumented and have been shown at institutions including the Photographic Center Northwest, Paul Baldwell Gallery in Medellin, Colombia. She has lectured on her work at Harvard University, Mt. Holyoke College, and La Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), among others. Zoraida was the assistant curator of the Picturing Black Girlhood exhibition at Columbia University and co-curated Women as Witness, a photography exhibition about how women document survival. She recently co-presented with WPR co-founder Lesly Deschler Canossi at the Tate Modern on their forthcoming book. She lives in Beacon, NY.
Lesly Deschler Canossi is a cultural producer, educator and photographer working to widen the lens of photo history. She is faculty at the International Center of Photography and co-founder of Women Picturing Revolution. She holds an MFA in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Since 2007, as owner of Fiber Ink Studio, she worked with photographers and institutions on project development and exhibition realization. Her photography explores the intimacy and demands of motherhood and she is currently co editing an edition of essays and photographs on the topic of Representations of Black Motherhood & Photography (Women Picturing Revolution, Spring 2021, Leuven University Press).
