A huge thank you to the curatorial talents and friendship of photographer and educator Liz Ham.

“Agender is a celebration of the great talent, wisdom and experience of female photographers. At the same time, our aim is to create new pathways for women at the start of their careers, and central to that is addressing the inequality in pay, diversity and opportunities given to women in the industry.”
— Agender co-founder Cybele Malinowski
“Balance is the answer in all aspects of our lives. I love to see work by both women and men as sometimes we have a different way of viewing the world. That difference should be celebrated and encouraged.”
— Photographer Leila Jeffreys
