PhotoVogue was one of the most inspiring talk programs I’ve ever attended. I left feeling energised by the talent of the women photographers who took the stage. I felt lucky to listen to their stories and perspectives, and to witness a community built on determination and strength, often expressed through compassion, care, and empathy. I’m proud that MPB supported these diverse voices through this year’s Open Call, Women by Women, and that we were able to recognise and reward Kristina Podobed for her work. Thank you to Alessia Glaviano and the entire PhotoVogue team for four truly magical days, and to Giuseppe Oliverio, our partner at PhMuseum, for creating the connections that made this partnership possible. I am also grateful to have shared this moment with Jennifer Tietze and Maggie Hinton.
