About the talk
 
This talk explores the powerful contributions of Latin American women photographers to art history and the presence in the art market. Through a blend of history, visual analysis, and market trends, this presentation examines how to gain visibility as a photographer in the shifting dynamics of the art market today. Through this lens, we will discuss how women photographers not only contribute to the art ecosystem but also influence cultural identity and social change through their unique perspectives, all while enabling them to build sustainable careers from their work.
