“Everyday we pass people in the street, yet know so little about them. We are all so uniquely diverse, yet we all long for the same thing: connection. Real connection takes vulnerability, and vulnerability takes real courage.
100 WOMEN OF OXFORD grew from a passion to connect with other women in my community. I was intrigued by their stories, and why they too were living in this city of dreaming spires.” Philippa James
Oxford-based photographer Philippa James visited one hundred women, in their homes, and listened to experiences of love and loss, politics, motherhood, climate change, dreams, disability, murder, sexuality, mental health, fear, imposter syndrome, social justice, family conflict, abuse, feminism, war, joy, death, social inclusion and many more stories of humanity.
In this exhibition you will have the opportunity to meet all one hundred brave, courageous, inspirational women, who are a part of Oxford’s community.
