Feminist Library

The Feminist Library was created as a space for listening, learning, discussion, and engagement through lectures and workshops by artists, writers, activists and academics. These sessions, covering a range of topics within feminist discourse and celebrating diverse perspectives, are held in our reference library area at Ffotogallery.

We continue to work towards more equitable representation in our library and archive collections.

  • 2024

    Ffotogallery launched the Feminist Library in October 2024, during Ffoto Cymru, our International Photography Festival.

    Since 2022, we have worked to develop a more equitable representation of women and non-binary photographers and artists on our library shelves. This recalibration was piloted during Ffoto Cymru 24, with Dr Alix Beeston, Dr Natasha Hirst, and artists Luiza Kons, Julieta Anaut, and Lorena Marchetti from the Foto Feminas network.
