Welcome
Overview of Project
Welcome to Work Show Grow online art school. We are so excited to meet you and be a part of this inspiring project. As you already know, Putting Ourselves in the Picture is a collaborative project working with Fast Forward: Women in Photography, National Galleries of Scotland, Autograph, Creative Response, Women for Refugee Women and Work Show Grow. Throughout this journey, each participant, like yourself, has met with a group of women either online or at their host organisation to come together to learn valuable skills that can be used to tell personal stories through the art of photography and learn about industry.
Work Show Grow’s Role
At Work Show Grow we will be helping you tie together everything you have learned during your workshops and through the mentorship. We will help to provide you with some valuable skills in using photography in your future projects. For the first time you will be meeting up online through the Work Show Grow platform with the participants from the other two groups in Bradford and in Edinburgh . We would like to build a community and space for you to learn from each other and create long lasting networks.

Fast Forward is a research project concerned with women in photography based at University for the Creative Arts. the project has established a significance within the world of photography for highlighting the work of women photographers and for questioning the way that the established canons have been formed. Fast Forward is designed to promote and engage with women in photography across the globe.
The National Galleries Scotland is home to some of the world’s most famous art, housing Scotland's national collection of fine art, spanning Scottish and international art from the beginning of the Renaissance up to the start of the 20th century.
Autograph champions photography that explores issues of race, identity, representation, human rights and social justice, sharing how photographs reflect lived experiences and shape our understanding of ourselves and others.
Creative Response are passionate advocates of the benefits of the arts for mental health and wellbeing, and have been serving the community of Farnham, Surrey and beyond for almost 30 years.
Women for Refugee Women empower refugee and asylum-seeking women to speak out, become leaders and advocate for change. Through English lessons, drama and other activities they support women to build their confidence and skills. Their network helps to combat the isolation faced by women seeking asylum and creates pathways for women to rebuild their lives with dignity.
