Womanhood is an experience. With all of the glamor and grace that comes with being a woman, there is also messiness and frustration. For this exhibition, East Bay Photo Collective has partnered with Counter Collective to explore what it means to be a woman today. We have collected submissions that explore all facets of womanhood – from feelings, to symbolic objects, to gestures or forms or self-expression. With this work, we would like to examine the complexities of womanhood and femininity beyond the confines of assigned sex, age, or location.

About Counter Collective

The Counter Collective was founded in the summer of 2020 to create a space that elevates the voices of those looked over in traditional art circles. We aim to provide the opportunity for female-identifying and non-binary folx to share their work in established spaces, to hold workshops to encourage their practices, and overall, to create a network where we can exchange ideas and encourage each other’s growth.
