Summary: Firecrackers is a curated showcase of over thirty contemporary female photographers from around the world, aiming to address the gender imbalance in the photography industry by foregrounding women’s perspectives. The book presents a diverse array of work—spanning documentary, portraiture, political photojournalism, and conceptual practices—where each photographer explores social, political, personal, or marginalized narratives through her own lens. Organized with short bios and interpretive commentary, Firecrackers emphasizes how these women’s practices challenge conventional visual conventions and expand what photography can represent in today’s cultural landscape.
