‘Agents of Change’ is the theme of V&A’s inaugural Parasol Foundation Prize for Women in Photography, which seeks to identify, support and champion women in the field in partnership with Peckham 24. The projects submitted capture political and societal instability, but also interrogate photography’s capacity to capture these shifts and create further evolution. Staged imagery, archival exploration and autobiographical documentation are among the routes taken by the winning photographers. A total of five winners were chosen by the prize selection committee, which included the likes of Ronan Mckenzie and Vivienne Gamble, co-founder of Peckham 24.
