Wimmin's Work

 

Wimmin's Work is a new collection of audio, audio-visual and photographic stories documenting the stories of ten Western Australian women. A cohort of early career and re-emerging creatives were commissioned to capture the historical and contemporary experiences of women living and working in Western Australia as part of a paid content and mentoring opportunity.  

Presented in partnership with Women in Media WA and supported by the Department of Communities Women’s Grants for a Stronger Future.
