Past Exhibitions
WIFIE members have held a number of exhibitions over the years and continue to look at ways to be involved in various events and develop challenges for their own individual photographic practice. To see some of the exhibition highlights click on the images below.
The Passion of Christ
In 2022 Wifie members took part in a Cutting Edge Theatre event that had initially been intended to happen during Easter 2020. The event didn't take place because of COVID-19 so a much smaller event took place this year. and members have created an installation for the Porty Lightbox that will be on display during the Easter period.

In Focus of a Better Future
Wifie members created a series of images for the Porty Lightbox to coincide with the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26.
Our planet, the earth is currently threatened by global warming so we chose to use the cardinal points; North, South, East and West and their associated elements; Earth, Fire, Air and Water for our installation.

Unable to have a proper exhibition due to COVID-19 we celebrated International Women's Day with images taken on the 8th March 2020. These were then shared on our new WhatsApp group. |
International Women's Day 2019.
The theme for International Women's day was 'Balance for Better', which aimed to encourage a global drive for professional and social equality.

International Women's Day 2018. Press for Progress.
This year we decided to have an on-line exhibition so invited members to submit their images for the website rather than have an exhibition in a venue. There were fewer exhibitors but as always the work is diverse and exciting. Have a look by clicking on the image.

International Women's Day 2015. Her Voice
During International Women's Day 2015 Wifie members exhibited various pieces of photographic work at St Brides Community Centre.
The theme for International Women's Day in 2015 was 'Make it Happen' and Wifie members decided to use this as the basis for their own exhibition theme. Adjusting it slightly they invited members to explore their own ideas around, Her Voice: Make a difference, make it happen.

Body Image March 2013
Leading up to International Women's Day 2013 Wifie members shared ideas and worked on their own themes for an exhibition at Tollcross Community Centre. The work illustrated a wide range of ideas and included photographs that were printed using traditional silver halide processes in the darkroom to those created using digital media.
This exhibition, on the theme of 'Body Image' went on display later in the year at Gilmerton Community Centre as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival throughout October 2013.

New Works March 2011
During late autumn 2010 Wifie members decided that it would be a good idea to exhibit their work for International Women's Day during March 2011. It was also agreed that this time we would have a completely 'open' brief offering members the opportunity to exhibit any work that they wanted and show off their talents in a range of photographic areas. The final result was and exciting display of images in a wide range of styles and content. The work went on display at Tollcross Community Centre where it went down very well..

Hip & Zen: Fashion, Culture and Spirituality 2008
This exhibition was part of the 5th International Festival of Middle Eastern Spirituality and Peace. The theme was very broad and offered Wifie members a great opportunity to interpret it in whichever way the felt suited their interests and style of photography.
Leading up to the event Wifie members were able to participate in some workshops which included a trip to Inchcolm Abbey on a small Island in the Firth of Fourth and to Samye Ling Monastery in the Scottish Borders.
