It’s Time To Think!

We’re proud to be taking this inclusive movement of female photographers to to the Fourth Edition of Festival Pil’Ours this summer. Supporting each other and promoting their own work at the same time – this is how it should be, collaboration and community are key. We’ve been given the opportunity to create the main festival exhibition this year and help deliver events that will form the basis for the festival’s progression and inspiration.

It’s not only time to think about the festival, it’s direction, and what is needed, but also an opportunity for us to reflect on the work of women in the 21st Century. We welcome the opportunity to celebrate contemporary work by female photographers from the UK, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Israel, Hong Kong, Bolivia, Brazil, United States, Canada and Australia. We’re ready!

Festival Pil’ours is an annual international festival of photography showcasing the work of female-identifying photographers from around the world. Having participated last year with Because We Can,Because We Can, his year, Shutter Hub have been invited back to create the main festival exhibition and bring a group exhibition of female-identifying photographers’ work to St Gille Croix de Vie.

The festival exhibitions will run from 01 July – 30 November 2019.

UPDATE: The exhibition was originally due to close on 31 August, but because of the hugely positive response to the work it has been extended to 30 November 2019.

On Sunday 07 July 2019 there will be an introductory talk and presentation by Shutter Hub’s Creative Director Karen Harvey, and Project Manager Jayne Lloyd, as well as a tour of the exhibition. Join us for the exhibition presentation and unveiling of the Fourth Edition of Festival Pil’Ours, and meet the curators and festival organisers to talk about opportunities for women in photography and the future plans for the festival.
