What They Saw project, a touring exhibition accompanied by a publication and series of public programs, is a means to ignite interest in underexposed and undocumented photobooks by women made between 1843 and 1999 and to begin a process of filling in the gaps. The present show is organized in collaboration with 10×10 Photobooks, a nonprofit organization with a mission to share photobooks globally and encourage their appreciation and understanding.
