Over a decade in the 1990s, American photographer Jane Evelyn Atwood immersed herself in the lives of women incarcerated in 40 prisons across nine countries. In this time, she documented their everyday reality, producing a body of black-and-white images that reveal the realities of female imprisonment and systemic inequality.

In this talk, Atwood will reflect on her documentary practice and the enduring relevance of her nominated work Too Much Time/Trop de Peines (2024). She will discuss her commitment to social justice and the power of photography in bringing visibility to lives and stories often overlooked, asking us to consider how the medium can provoke understanding, advocacy and change.
