WOMEN AT WORK

URBAN GALLERY GROUP SHOW

for SCOTIABANK CONTACT PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL

EXHIBITION DATES: May 3 to May 31, 2018

The work that women do is essential to society, yet it is still often under-appreciated, underpaid and undervalued, and in many cases undocumented. ‘WOMEN AT WORK’ at URBAN GALLERY for the 2018 SCOTIABANK CONTACT PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL celebrates women, and their contributions to the health, welfare and economy of their communities and the world at large.
