Through curating exhibitions, hosting public events and publishing thematic publications, Femxphotographers.org is shaping the contemporary photography discourse by providing photographers with an empowering network of solidarity and mutual support. Womxn’s bodies are frequently fetishized while their minds are vilified and voices silenced. This is evident throughout history and in a variety of cultures worldwide. Mind Over Matter is a book that evokes female vision. It investigates the power of the mind, as well as dreams and fantasies, logic and intuition. It explores inner strength, courage, determination, will- power and support through a curation of complex and individualistic series. The concept of the mind is associated with a wide range of philosophical metaphors, images of the human psyche, butterflies. Playing with the multiformity and all the stimuli that are presented to us we decided to expand our publication to include text. We challenge our narratives, and expand the conversation, by inviting guest authors and artists to contribute to our collective members‘ pieces: Fantasies, life, sexual narratives, tenderness, wildness and power.
