The Video Recording of
The New Woman Behind the Camera with NGA Curator Andrea Nelson
On January 12, the Washington Print Club hosted an informative and engaging online conversation with NGA curator Andrea Nelson about the exhibition The New Woman behind the Camera.

Featuring more than 120 international photographers, the exhibition explores the diverse “new women” who embraced photography as a mode of professional and personal expression from the 1920s to the 1950s. The New Woman Behind the Camera reveals the significant impact women have had on the history of modern photography.
