Feminist Photography Network is a shifting collective led by two co-directors based in Tkaronto (Toronto). Our projects emphasize support among artists rather than competition, and aim to humanize the art process.

This exhibition showcases work by sixteen artists from Canada and the UK who participated in the online peer-to-peer residencies we ran in 2017, 2020, and 2021. Identity, Connection and Place were themes weaving through these photographer’s work and the experience of the residency itself. For many of us, this support structure helped sustain our identity as artmakers alongside demanding roles like caregiver or breadwinner. Receiving creative perspectives and research material from a different cultural ecosystem was also particularly generative and resulted in many rich friendships and creative collaborations, both national and transatlantic.
