"Curator Nathalie Herschdorfer describes Deborah Turbeville as 'completely underrecognised,' especially compared to male contemporaries like Helmut Newton and Irving Penn, who are often idolised as canonical."
"'We are now in a time where we have to rewrite the history of photography, to include other names,' says Herschdorfer, emphasizing the importance of recognizing female photographers."
"'It's a continuation between women photographers across generations,' say curators Tellgren and Herschdorfer, highlighting the mutual discovery between Turbeville and Abdulkadir's audiences."
The exhibition at Moderna Museet pairs late-American photographer Deborah Turbeville with contemporary Swedish-Somali photographer Ikram Abdulkadir. Curators Nathalie Herschdorfer and Anna Tellgren emphasize the need to rewrite photographic history to include underrecognized female artists. The pairing reflects a continuity between generations of women photographers, allowing audiences to discover both artists. The exhibitions, while formally separate, create a dialogue that enriches the understanding of their work and contributions to photography.
