Another of 10x10’s “books-on-books” entitled How We See: Photobooks by Women presents its readers with a global range of 21st-century groundbreaking photo books. Between these two publications, 10x10 chronicles over 100 years of female-headed photographic and bookmaking work–fostering a global conversation on women artists.
On Friday, March 3rd at 4:00pm EST, I will be presenting a Spotlight Talk on Donna Ferrato’s book Living With the Enemy. As described on Donna’s website, “Living With The Enemy explores the hurt, shame and anger of women, children and their abusers in black & white photographs and includes the story behind each image, as well as factual information on domestic violence in America.”
