Relying on the hospitality of women and their organisational savvy has frequently meant the difference between success and failure for Paul Harris on many of his travels and photographic projects. This latest exhibition at Found Gallery is a celebration of womanhood and marks 30 years of the photographer travelling to remote, rural and ethnic communities.
Women have always been at the heart of communities and it’s women who have their fingers on the pulse of daily life. Women do 70-80% of all agriculture & food production in the world. Women are responsible for well over half the world's cash income and now play a central role as compassionate powerbrokers and decision makers. We should be continually reminded that ‘girl power’ is older than mere 21st century pop culture.
Paul Harris is a documentary photographer who has travelled widely on both personal and commissioned projects for commercial, editorial and charitable clients. He is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a recipient of their Cherry Kearton Medal for ‘Photography of Peoples and the Natural World’
