In Power in Perspective, SCAD student photographers convey the limitless ways women harness strength, resilience, and lived experience to challenge societal norms, break barriers, create change, and exist freely. The 45 photographs on view were selected by a jury of ambassadors from Leica, the leading camera manufacturer and global photography brand. Embodying ideas, scenes, or stories of empowerment, these works offer diverse interpretations through formal portraits, candid moments, or symbolic imagery that demonstrate how women uniquely shape their communities and the world at large. Celebrating 45 years of SCAD, the exhibition is presented in partnership with Leica as part of SCAD deFINE ART 2024 in connection with the Leica Women Foto Project and International Women’s Day.
“We are proud to support the next generation of photographers through our partnership with the Savannah College of Art and Design,” said Mike Giannattasio, president of Leica Camera, North America. “In our ongoing quest to inspire people to engage with the art of photography, our challenge to these students is timely, and serves to highlight our annual Leica Women Foto Project, now in its fifth year. I also extend our thanks to the talented and engaging Cheriss May, who guided SCAD students through the process of this challenge on behalf of Leica.”
