As we usher in Women’s Month, the 2nd Black Women in Photography Conference returns with a powerful call for reflection, unity, and visibility.
Taking place from 21 – 23 AUGUST 2025 at the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg (South Africa), this landmark event invites Black women photographers to gather, share, and reshape the narrative of photography — one frame at a time.
Facilitated by two of South Africa’s most iconic visual activists and storytellers: ZANELE MUHOLI @muholizanele & RUTH MOTAU @ruthmotau_photomentorship
This gathering is more than a conference — it’s a space of sisterhood, solidarity, and reclamation. In a photography landscape historically dominated by patriarchal structures, we come together to reflect on our struggles, amplify our voices, and celebrate how far we’ve come.
Through workshops, dialogues, and showcase, we will uplift each other, challenge old frameworks, and inspire new ways of seeing — and being seen.
