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.
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
- Participate in exhibitions
- Use photography to explore issues relating to gender, power and social politics
- To look at issues which perpetuate exclusion
- To network with other women's projects across Scotland
New Events or Recent Projects
During lockdown, Wifie members are being invited to take part in some regular assignments. These will hopefully encourage members to reflect on their photographic practice and to continue developing creative responses despite the restrictions we were all facing.
In The Spotlight
This space is for members to share the photographs they have taken which reflect their interests and achievements in their chosen field of photography. It is also a chance for them to tell us a bit about their photographic journey. Wifie members have different interests and skills, which might not always suit the projects or assignments we are given so it's nice to celebrate the varied ideas and styles that each member brings to our group.
