Coinciding with LOOK/15 is Cunard’s 175th anniversary. To celebrate, Liverpool will be visited by three famous and well-travelled women. These ships, the Queens - Mary, Elizabeth and Victoria - will gather in a spectacle that links the Mersey to the ocean; the city with her transatlantic neighbours and, ultimately, Liverpudlians with the world. These grande dames of the sea represent not only distances crossed in time and space, but the movement of thoughts, peoples, materials and histories. They represent ideological structures and powerful, boundary-crossing endeavour. Between them they have moved dignitaries and paupers; treasures and luggage; materials and lives around the world, in a set of exchanges that represent contemporary life‘s flux.

Often the subject of the lens and historically belittled as the domestic maintainer of family ‘keepsake’ images, women are still under-represented in the photographic industry. LOOK/15 platforms female photography from today and yesteryear, offering glimpses in to the artistic pursuits and political passions of women.

Liverpool is proud to have a rich history of influential women with interesting stories. Florence Nightingale, Eleanor Rathbone, Margaret Chambre Hardman, Bessie Braddock, Cilla Black, April Ashley and Kim Cattrall have all had their impacts on the city and many more have played vital roles. Some less famous city women have been depicted in the media previously, such as the dock side flower workers, the mothers, wives and siblings of fallen heroes and the emerging talents of stage and screen; many grace the waterfront (The Three Graces, Speed – the Modern Mercury and the Lady Liver Bird herself, guiding in her sailors) and are walked past by thousands of people daily… Now it is your turn to shine a light on these women and those that you know.
