The winter issue of
Aperture, "On Feminism," arrives at a moment when the power and influence women hold on the world stage is irrefutable, and the very idea of gender is central to conversations about equality across the country, and around the globe. "On Feminism" focuses on intergenerational dialogues, debates, and strategies of feminism in photography and considers the immense contributions by artists whose work articulates or interrogates representations of women in media and society. Across more than one hundred years of photographs and images, "On Feminism" underscores how photography has shaped feminism as much as how feminism has shaped photography.
Aperture is a sophisticated guide to the world of contemporary photography that combines the finest writing with sumptuously reproduced portfolios. Presenting fresh perspectives by leading writers, art historians, and other thinkers, accessible to the photo practitioner and the culturally curious alike, each issue examines one theme at the heart of contemporary photography through essays, in-depth interviews, and immersive portfolios. Columns include On Portraits, The Collectors, Curriculum, and Object Lessons. Today, in a world awash in images, Aperture is an essential guide to the evolving story of photography.
