Exhibition opening Wartime
A cance to get to know the work of some of the women who were active in the genres of documentary and journalistic photography in the public sphere during a period of war and conflict.
Although most of them are all but forgotten today, they deserve a fresh showing, since their work is of a consistently high quality and constitutes an important contribution to the documentation of an era defined by contrasts.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Preus museum, the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, the Norwegian Labour Movement Archives and Library (Arbark), Oslo Museum and Tone Svinningen.
