Welcome to WIFIE
Wifie is an independent photography group for women living in and around Edinburgh. Members of Wifie meet to participate in workshops and visit exhibitions. During these informal meetings the group are able to discuss ideas or explore the issues raised by the work of other artists as well as being able to share knowledge, ideas and experiences within the group.
Wifie provides women with an opportunity to;
Learn new skills in photography or extend existing skills
Meet up for workshops or to visit exhibitions
Participate in exhibitions and photography projects.
Use photography to explore issues relating to gender, power and social politics
To network with other women's projects across Scotland

Wifie (Women In Focus In Edinburgh) is a collective for women who are interested in photography and would like to share their passion and ideas with other women. We would normally meet about once a month where we would take part in a workshop or visit an exhibition. Members would then be invited to create some of their own work in response to these events.

Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival & World Mental Health Day 2024.
DEPICT. By WIFIE
The theme this year was IN/VISIBLE so Wifie members created this installation to depict the seen and unseen that many people face when it comes to their mental health and wellbeing. As the daylight fades and the Porty Lighbox is illuminated from the inside the stories are revealed about each of the images, some representing the hidden challenges that people face, others the paths to recovery.
Participating artists.
Belinda, Damiana, Margaret, Margaret, Molly, Ursula & Yasmin
