Professor Anna Fox is one of the most acclaimed British photographers of the last thirty years and was recently awarded Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. Since 2016 she has instigated, developed, and promoted Fast Forward: Women in Photography, a research and development project which has created a global network with far reaching impacts on the equality, diversity, and inclusion for women through photography.This ED&I Fellowship offers an opportunity to build on the Fast Forward project and the aims and objectives of the 2020 Manifesto, to support junior colleagues and to work in partnership with a progressive-thinking group of collaborator organisations to support a community of marginalised women. Through a series of innovative workshops and mentorship activities, the aim is to increase awareness of women's unheard life stories using photography and story-telling practices by increasing their skills to use photography to create new work. Most recently the coronavirus crisis has made the telling of women's stories all the more urgent, highlighting the inequalities within society for marginalised groups of women.Each workshop will run for between five and ten days and will involve tutors and mentors as well as at least six participants who are in contact with the partners. By promoting practical skills, networking skills, and industry knowledge, the women will develop confidence to tell new stories using the language of photography. The four workshops will be run by the partners starting in February 2021 and will be followed by a period of mentorship up to the end of the project enabling professional development in terms of networking and the production of high quality outputs, owned by participants, and widely disseminated, with permission.The work created and key moments in the processes undertaken at the workshops will be recorded, with participants' permission, on film and/or sound and aim to show the development of skills, confidence, and understanding. By working with the partner organisations, we will actively connect women to new networks, new experiences, and valuable role models, and set up a sustainable mentorship scheme.Outputs include artists books and prints made during the workshops. An exhibition of works will be organised along with a series of smaller scale exhibitions in local libraries and community centres, and a series of podcasts of interviews/discussions with both participants and mentors will be disseminated, designed to inspire women outside the project as well as to act as a legacy (These may vary with the restrictions due to the Covid situation). Outputs will be designed to create maximum impact through effective use of the website and social media of Fast Forward and through that of the partners and host institution, and will include promotion of exhibitions, publications, short films, and podcasts. The outputs will also be presented at the conference Decolonising the Curriculum (working title only) at University for the Creative Arts in late 2021.This work offers an approach to improve conditions and opportunities for marginalised women in UK society (such as refugees) by using the tool of photography. We will also be developing our relationships with our partners enabling future ways of working together to support women in photography. The work of this fellowship is designed to improve well-being, creativity, and employability of those involved. By bringing practical experience and new knowledge to the women taking part in the workshops and mentorship activity they will gain understanding and grow confidence in their newly acquired skills and inspire new creativity and abilities that will contribute to future well-being. It is vital to give marginalised women a voice and the opportunity to tell their stories, stories that have frequently been hidden. Photography has the ability to tell stories in a way that neither the written nor spoken word can do.

安娜·福克斯教授是过去三十年来最受欢迎的英国摄影师之一，最近被授予皇家摄影学会荣誉会员。自2016年以来，她一直在煽动，开发和推广Fast Forward：摄影中的女性，一个研究和发展项目，通过摄影创造了一个对女性平等，多样性和包容性产生深远影响的全球网络。这个艾德&I奖学金提供了一个机会，以快进项目和2020年宣言的目的和目标为基础，支持初级同事，并与具有进步思想的合作组织小组合作，支持边缘化妇女社区。通过一系列创新的讲习班和辅导活动，目的是通过提高妇女利用摄影创作新作品的技能，提高她们对利用摄影和讲故事的做法所讲述的鲜为人知的生活故事的认识。最近的冠状病毒危机使讲述女性故事变得更加紧迫，突显了社会中对边缘化女性群体的不平等。每个研讨会将持续5至10天，将有导师和导师以及至少6名与合作伙伴接触的参与者参加。通过提高实践技能，网络技能和行业知识，女性将培养使用摄影语言讲述新故事的信心。这四个研讨会将由合作伙伴从2021年2月开始举办，之后将有一段时间的指导，直到项目结束，以便在网络和高质量产出方面实现专业发展，由参与者拥有，并在获得许可的情况下广泛传播。在研讨会上创造的工作和过程中的关键时刻将被记录，经学员许可，以电影和/或声音形式进行，旨在展示技能、信心和理解的发展。通过与伙伴组织合作，我们将积极地将妇女与新的网络、新的经验和宝贵的榜样联系起来，并建立一个可持续的导师计划。产出包括工作坊期间制作的艺术家书籍和印刷品。沿着将举办一场作品展，并在当地图书馆和社区中心举办一系列规模较小的展览，还将发布一系列与参与者和导师进行访谈/讨论的播客，旨在激励项目外的女性，并作为遗产（这些可能会因新冠疫情的限制而有所不同）。产出的设计将通过有效利用“快进”网站和社交媒体以及合作伙伴和东道机构的网站和社交媒体产生最大影响，并将包括宣传展览、出版物、短片和播客。这些成果也将在2021年底在创意艺术大学举行的“非殖民化课程”会议上展示。这项工作提供了一种方法，通过使用摄影工具，改善英国社会边缘化妇女（如难民）的条件和机会。我们还将发展与合作伙伴的关系，以实现未来的合作方式，支持女性摄影。该奖学金的工作旨在提高福利，创造力和参与者的就业能力。通过为参加讲习班和辅导活动的妇女带来实际经验和新知识，她们将对自己新获得的技能获得理解和信心，并激发新的创造力和能力，这将有助于未来的福祉。至关重要的是，要让边缘化妇女有发言权和机会讲述她们的故事，这些故事往往被隐藏起来。摄影有能力以一种文字和口头语言都无法做到的方式讲述故事。
