Orlando Museum of Art will host a traveling exhibit on January 23, 2016 called “Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers on Assignment.” The show will feature the work of 11 award-winning female photojournalists and will be in Orlando until April 25, 2016.
The show includes nearly 100 photographs, “including moving depictions of far-flung cultures, compelling illustrations of conceptual topics such as memory and teenage brain chemistry, and arresting images of social issues like child marriage and 21st-century slavery.”
In addition to the photographs, visitors will have an opportunity to learn how National Geographic magazine picture editors work closely with the photographers to select images and tell a story. Video vignettes will present first-person accounts that reveal the photographers’ individual styles, passions and approaches to their craft.
“Women of Vision” was curated by National Geographic Senior Photo Editor Elizabeth Krist.
The eleven photographers include:
- Jodi Cobb, the first woman to be named White House Photographer of the Year.
- Lynsey Addario, Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur Fellow.
