Alongside our second print issue, shado has produced a 3-month photography project with 18 photographers around the world where each photographer has responded to the brief I AM A WOMAN.

There is no one way of defining what it personally means to identify as a woman – and we wanted to leave it to a community of photographers to open up these interpretations.

Just as the second issue of shado seeks to broaden ideas of womxnhood, so does this photography project. Identifying as a woman means different things to different people depending on context – and we believe it is crucial to recognise this and gain a more global perspective on the topic through spotlighting the different experiences of women around the world.
