Full STEAM Ahead

In recent years there has been a push for more young women and girls to enter the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. It seems as though STEM is a bit of a boys club but we know that’s not the true story…

For our Exposure 2022 exhibition we want to highlight the women photographers who have given exposure to the women scientists of the 20th Century, proving that STEM has always been a field for women.

From Irish photographer Elizabeth Le Blond scaling mountains in her heavy dresses for the perfect image to Berenice Abbott photographing a female programmer wiring an IMB machine, we want to celebrate women supporting women.

Discover more about why we chose Women in STEM…
