The photographs will be shot exclusively by women photographers, and the aim is for these to be displayed in a free public exhibition in Parliament.

This project supports 209 women photographers across the UK to make portraits of all 209 women MPs. The exhibition is curated by Hilary Wood (Founder/Director of ‘209 Women’ and photographer), Tracy Marshall (Director of Development and Partnerships at Open Eye Gallery and Co- Director of Northern Narratives arts initiative) and Cheryl Newman (Artist, curator and former Director of Photography of the Telegraph magazine).
