SEE THE FIRST EDITION
INTRODUCTION / PURPOSE
The time has come for revolutionary action regarding our way of presenting ourselves to the world by affirming and not claiming.
We ask professional photographers, amateur photographers and citizens of all the world to tell a conceptual innovation that no longer concerns, or not only, the demonstration of being able to cover and conquer historically masculine roles and spaces, but convincingly expresses what every woman is, complete in herself, inclusive, but in relation to the social, environmental context, professional, relational.
No evolution has depended solely on a part of the species, but every living being has contributed with its own driving force to the collective advancement and improvement of the whole of humanity.
The super powers are not about legendary heroines, but belong to all women and express themselves and manifest themselves every day, in the daily life of their lives and often this happens, without them being fully aware of it, in a natural, brilliant, intuitive and innovative way.
Look at your lives, at that of the women you happened to meet or have next to you.
Participate with your fotographies to the Call “I AM – IO SONO”
