In an industry once predominantly dominated by men, women photographers have made remarkable progress assimilating into the world of photography during the last several decades. In honor of International Women's Day on March 8th, the B&H Event Space is uniting an eclectic group of accomplished photographers, all women, to speak about their work and their journey towards success within their role as a female artist. All originating from a diverse range of backgrounds, these women will engage in a stimulating panel discussion covering topics about their methods, subject matter, personal vision, and their processes for creating extraordinary bodies of work. Complementing the panel discussion will be a series of slide-show presentations delivered by each participating panel member, showcasing a selection of images which define their style.  This special event is inspired by International Women's Day, which recognizes the progress and significant achievements by women throughout history, and around the world. The B&H Event Space is honored to participate in this celebration of women, and is excited to introduce a dynamic panel of speakers who have contributed to women's visibility in the art world. The panel will include Scout Tufankjian, Barbara Bordnick, Jill Enfield, Arlene Collins, and Kate Engelbrecht, and it will be moderated by Michelle Bogre. Speakers:  Arlene Collins

Kate is the founder of The Girl Project, a national initiative that explores the lives of American teenage girls and empowers them to communicate through documentary photography. Intrigued by the growing amount of media content depicting teen life, much of it far more sensational than Kate’s recollection of her own adolescent years, she turned to the girls themselves for information. 5,000 girls ages 13-18, from across the country, of all backgrounds, are being invited by Kate to participate by stepping behind the camera to document themselves and their environments. Each girl is sent a Kodak disposable camera by mail to chronicle her life and communicate her view of herself and her world. Upon completing the 27 frames participants return the camera undeveloped, unseen and unedited. Each image becomes part of a growing library – the collection of which is a greater piece on female adolescence. Kate has a B.A. in Sociology from The College of Saint Catherine. She was an associate strategist for Fallon New York in 1998, before realizing she wanted to be a photographer. She has spent the last 6 years working primarily with families and children and her work has been published in PDN and Time Out New York. http://thegirlproject.org/ Michelle Bogre
