Homefront

Homefront is a ground-breaking, collaborative photographic project, which records the lived experiences of women living in Britain, amidst a rhetoric of the 'war on Covid19'. The images are intentionally styled in an original and uplifting way, contrasting the lives of women today with that of their 1940s counterparts. In depth personal accounts accompany the images, highlighting issues and raising questions about how Covid19 has and will continue to impact the lives of women. Issues explored include the gender pay gap, domestic violence, post-natal trauma and the disproportionate amount of unpaid work done by women. The intention is to shine a light on these issues to effect societal change and see future women’s lives improved. The photographic project has been a collaborative endeavour across multiple communities, with women from varied socio economic, educational and ethnic backgrounds all volunteering time and energy to make this substantial and empowering body of work, already exhibited, with plans to publish.
