AIS Open – Women Behind The Lens Exhibition, Drop In, Free

The AIS Open is an annual AIS Festival project which is specifically for female identifying photographers. This year’s theme is Place & Space, and how our notions of this have shifted as we emerge and heal from a global pandemic.

This digital exhibition provides an insight into what this theme means to the artists featured, and in turn, asks us to consider the spaces we are navigating within our own lives, how we occupy these, and how our own perceptions of place are constantly forming and reforming.

This is our third year of AIS Open, and we’re excited to have received over 200 submissions this year, from over 50 countries. The five finalists selected for this exhibition have been chosen for the innovative ways they’ve responded to and interpreted the theme.
