In an era where the politics of representation are constantly being renegotiated, this selection brings together the work of the finalists of the PhMuseum 2025 Women Photographers Grant, presenting a landscape of contemporary practices from female and non-binary authors.
These works explore photography as a tool for self-determination, utilizing diverse visual strategies to document intimacy, challenge archival silences, and confront urgent social issues. All together, they show us how we can center authorship as an act of agency and how it can shape our collective understanding of the world.
The projects were selected by an independent jury comprising Monica de Miranda (Visual Artist, Filmmaker, and Researcher), Katy Hundertmark (Curator and Managing Editor of Foam Magazine), Amak Mahmoodian (Multidisciplinary Artist and Educator), and Diana Markosian (Documentary Photographer, Writer, and Filmmaker) within a context where PhMuseum is actively committed to redefining the photographic canon by amplifying the visions of new generations.
PhMuseum is a curated platform and talent incubator dedicated to the evolution of visual language, serving as a critical bridge between emerging voices and the international photography landscape. Founded by Giuseppe Oliverio in 2012, it operates at the intersection of digital innovation and physical curation, fostering a global community through international grants, educational programs, an international photography festival and a permanent exhibition space in Bologna, Italy.
