The petition was spearheaded by the amazing photographer and Women Photographers Australia founder, Hilary Wardhaugh. It was a visual response to the Australian governments’ climate change policies.

‘The goal was to crowd-source 1000 images from women and non-binary photographers all over Australia. The power of the Petition arose from each image submitted is speaking truth to power and presenting climate change from a personal and culturally diverse perspective. The result is a powerful social, political statement to the current patriarchal power structures within Australia and therefore advocating on behalf of our Australian land, flora and fauna, indigenous cultures and future generations. The Petition advanced contemporary feminist discourse through photography and activism and shone a light on colonial and patriarchal power structures that have been influential in the climate crisis we face.’ – www.womenphotographersaustralia.com.au
