In November 2015 Tate Modern, The University for the Creative Arts, and UAL Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) (at London College of Communication, UAL) organised a conference, Fast Forward: Women in Photography at Tate Modern.

This two-day conference explores the complex and dynamic evolution of the history of women in photography, from early commercial practices, to the impact of World War II on women and their work, to reframing the role of the archive.

Considering both national and international discussions about women in the history of photography, this event presents some of the latest research and debates in the field.
