Women in Jazz Media Exhibition
21st September – 4th October
The Melville Centre for the Arts CIC, Abergavenny
Award-winning organisation Women in Jazz Media, in partnership with Black Mountain
Jazz Club, brings their exclusive photography exhibition Women in Jazz Photography: Her Frame. Her Sound to The Melville Centre in Abergavenny, as part of the wall2wall Jazz Festival.
This inspiring exhibition celebrates women working in jazz, both behind and in front of the camera. Legendary artists such as Geri Allen, Abbey Lincoln, Alice Coltrane, and Nina Simone appear alongside contemporary stars including Lakecia Benjamin, Nubya Garcia, and Brandee Younger.
Featuring internationally acclaimed photographers Monika S. Jakubowska, Vuyo Giba,
Tatiana Gorilovsky, Enid Farber, and Black Mountain Jazz’s resident photographer Kasia Ociepa, the exhibition showcases stunning moments in jazz captured by some of the most respected women in the field.
“It is time for women on the walls! Photography captures incredible moments and gifts us those memories. Yet photographers are rarely credited and women are too often missing from the story. It’s time to change the narrative.”
— Fiona Ross, Founder, Women in Jazz Media
Black Mountain Jazz is especially proud to celebrate with local photographer Kasia Ociepa, whose inclusion marks a milestone in her growing career.
“Seeing my work on the wall is surreal but a real confidence boost. It inspires me to keep creating and trust that my perspective belongs here.”
— Kasia Ociepa, Photographer
This is a rare opportunity to see breathtaking jazz photography from across the globe, right here in Abergavenny. An unmissable celebration of women in jazz.
