About

Opening doors for African and Asian female photographers to make their mark.

 / Another Perspective aims to provide young and talented female photographers from Africa and Asia who are still unknown in Switzerland with a platform to display their photos and tell their stories.

The focus is on female artists because women face a unique set of challenges that inhibit them from independently pursuing their vocations and passions. In addition, in many countries and cultures, female photographers have closer, more personal connections to members of their communities than their male colleagues. In particular, they are able to gain the trust of women and children and therefore create intimate and touching photographic narratives.

In March 2018, the first exhibition of photos by Fati Abubakar from Nigeria was held with great success at the Photobastei in Zurich. In May 2019, the photographer Deepti Asthana showed her impressive pictures under the title "Women of India".

After a break due to corona, the exhibition with photos by Malika Diagana from Senegal was successfully opened in September 2021.
