ABOUT femLENS

Founded in 2015 as a volunteer driven organisation by the photographer Jekaterina Saveljeva, femLENS works as a capacity builder delivering free workshops to teach women – especially women and girls from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds – documentary photography techniques to tell stories visually by using cameras and the easily available tools such as mobile phones and other cheaper alternatives.

We believe that everyone in society should be accountable for promoting a culture of equality of the sexes and their representation within the media industry and the culture in the world, everyone and especially women.

We aim to empower women to create and share their stories.

INSPIRE – create lifelong learners by teaching a skill which is universally applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In 2023 femLENS significantly expanded its work through partnership in large EU funded projects.

We trained over 50 women in photovoice and documentary photography techniques as part of one project focusing on women's political participation in the 2024 European parliamentary elections.

Together with six other EU nonprofit organisations, femLENS worked on developing an art therapy and artivistic manuals for youth workers.

We also ran the third season of our mediaLAB funded by the Germany Embassy in Tallinn, in Narva, Estonia. This community based project saw us create another issue of our FACTURA zine, a cook book, many photo exhibitions and other events featuring artists and film makers, as well as commissioning a sound collage made by a local musician.
