The Marie Skłodowska Curie Action (MSCA) Individual fellowship project, Women, Photography and Resistance in Transnational Perspective (FEM-RESIST), focuses on photography as a form of resistance and explores how the medium has been used to generate transnational solidarity with struggles against injustice. In particular, the project widens perspectives and increases understanding of how women have used photography as a medium of resistance, particularly in the context of Nazism in Europe and apartheid in South Africa. The project aims to comprehend what can be learned from the non-violent strategies of resistance women developed in the past, and how they inform resistance to repression in the present; to open academic and public discussions about women, photography and resistance in transnational perspective; and to encourage the participation of women in research in order to address gender inequality, a cross-cutting objective of the Horizon 2020 programme.
