3 questions for
@jahnavishaarma , the curator behind the curation of ‘Women in Photo’
“Women in Photo emerged from a personal and collective impulse to create a space where women can express their visual language without the weight of comparison, hierarchy, or cultural expectations. After returning to Delhi from London, I wanted to build platforms that centre women within photography, a field where their presence is greater than the visibility they receive. This exhibition came together organically, drawing on the work of women I know, trust, and admire to offer a space where our collective creative language can be seen fully. One intentional decision was to present artists by first name only; removing surnames was my way of dissolving markers of caste and class to equalise the space. The theme of intimacy shifts shape here, collectively building a portrait of womanhood that is complex, layered, and deeply felt. My aspiration extends beyond this moment, hoping to open doors for visibility, spark dialogue about women-led photography in India and collaboration with UK-based artists, and grow into a sustainable, community-driven space”
