In Her Name - Celebrating the lives of Queensland’s women & girls

Presented by WOW (Women of the World) Australia

About our exhibition

Women may not be highly visible in many formal positions of power, but in fact, they exercise extraordinary leadership in a myriad of ways and places throughout our State.

In this exhibition, we pay tribute to women and girls from the locations where WOW (Women of the World) Festivals have taken place over the last two years - Charleville, Longreach, Cairns, Logan, and Brisbane.

Each woman featured has been identified by her community for the leadership or huge personal contribution each has made, and all have remarkable stories to tell. Photography by Cristina Bevilacqua, Tatenda Dhobha, Katrina Lehmann and Mana Salsali.

About the author

WOW Australia

WOW Australia was proud to present two dynamic photographic exhibitions at Brisbane Powerhouse. From the 25th May to 25th June, visitors made their way to New Farm to view these exquisite collections of Queensland women and girls, shot exclusively by women photographers. During 2022 we commissioned photographs and stories of women and girls from each of the communities where WOW festivals are taking place, to celebrate the work they are doing in their communities across many of the themes we explore in our festivals: leadership, identity, education, health, justice, domestic life, economy, culture, and the environment. These images together with the 10 images of Brisbane women leaders taken as part of the 2021 joint The WOW Foundation and Google Arts & Culture global on-line exhibition, The Hope Project form this exhibition, celebrating and honouring the women of Queensland. We were also delighted to include the ‘m e r i’ project by Wendy Mocke, first presented by Northsite Contemporary Arts gallery within Bulmba-ja Arts Centre.
