Curated by Oriana Koren

How do you tell the story of a year in photographs when this has been the hardest year in living memory for photographers to do their jobs? We’ve assembled this overview of 2020 through the images of one hundred members of Women Photograph, each of whom had to work through extraordinary levels of precarity — whether from the pandemic, civil unrest, heightened hostility towards working journalists, or a gruesome combination of the three.

Add to that the fact that 2020 has been hardest on women and people of color: COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted communities of color and forced unprecedented numbers of women out of the workforce in the United States, and we feel like this work is more vital than ever. Women and nonbinary photographers continue to be responsible for only about 15-20 percent of photographs in the news media, and women of color constitute a mere 3-5 percent.

And while some of this work is a dark reflection of the events of this year, we hope you’ll also find some moments of joy and hope, as life and our collective documentation of our experiences continue. Oriana Koren, photo-ethnographer, writer, and curator of the 2020 Year in Pictures writes:

The one hundred photographs by one hundred women — across gender expression and identity, across that pseudo-science fiction we call race, across geography, region, and location, across the spectrum of age and the spectrum of human experience — have come together to illustrate for us what it looks like to become human in the age of a pandemic and on the precipice, not of impending extinction, but of imminent evolution. The entire world is upside down, but these photographers show us how we have been, every day, putting it back together again to create a new, more human experience of living time simultaneously, together.

You can pre-order the third issue of the Women Photograph Annual here, and donate to Women Photograph here. Thank you, and we’re hoping that you and yours are staying safe and healthy as 2020 draws to a close!

“In my neighborhood, the apartments are small and the kids in each household are many. During the day, playgrounds see more traffic than ever. COVID-19 is changing our routines, social behavior, and use of public space. It is also affecting the way I see the objects around me. With a combination of screen-weary eyes and endless fixation on all the public areas that could be infected, I felt I started to see these invisible viruses all around me. As small glowing dots in the landscape.

This series is me trying to share this entoptic phenomenon. I’ve taken photographs of my surroundings and printed them. I then pierced holes where I thought many people might have touched, backlit them, and photographed again. This series speaks about COVID-19 and this period in time. It visualizes the invisible, but also conveys the mental and emotional aspects of such uncertain times.”

Nafas, 20, cares for the newborn baby of one of the prison guards. Most female guards working inside the prison in Herat, Afghanistan, are not educated and have kids. They bring their younger kids to the prison and pay very little money to their trusted prisoners to care for them while they're on duty.

As a girl, Nafas was promised to a drug-addicted relative, a man 17 years older. Before they married, he beat her, leaving her with scars. She protested the union for a year, appealing to her parents and brothers. “Even if you die, you have to marry him,” they told her. When they wouldn’t relent, Nafas took her brother’s gun and shot her husband. He died from the wound. “I had to do it,” Nafas says.

Hundreds of students gather to protest for educational reform outside the Education Ministry in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 19. As part of pro-democracy protests happening around Thailand, youngsters calling themselves "Bad Students" used the white ribbon, a symbol to show resistance against violence in school, while raising a three-finger salute, also a symbol of resistance. Student protesters demanded a revision of strict haircut rules and a binary uniform policy, and the end of discrimination against LGBTQ+ students.

A month after a cluster of earthquakes ravaged the south of the island, 800 people were still living in government shelters and makeshift camps. Hundreds were thought to be camping in their backyards, in fear of having their homes collapse. On January 7, the strongest earthquake hit at a 6.4 magnitude.

The COVID-19 lockdown in India was announced on March 25 with only four hours’ notice, leaving the nation in a state of frenzy. Faced with dwindling savings due to unemployment during the lockdown, millions of migrant workers decided to return to their hometowns from cities around the country, sparking the biggest human exodus in India since the partition.

On May 23, migrant workers from Orissa who had registered to return home received a message on their phones, informing them that a train would be leaving from Bengaluru to Puri. Nearly 7,000 people gathered at Palace Grounds in the morning. While the official capacity of each train is 1,500 passengers, the workers gathered at the grounds were almost five times that number. The government had to organize more trains in the next few days.

A thermal scanner at the entrance of a supermarket in Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The vast majority of food on this island is imported, and shopping is centralized in big supermarket chains, which concentrates people at these places. At the beginning of the pandemic, two thermal scanners were placed in this supermarket to measure the temperature of incoming customers. The person must stop and wait for the result. If a temperature is higher than 37.5°C (99.5°F), a protocol is activated. Despite the fact that there are no known cases on the island, this ritual has become part of our new normal.

Crissy Robbins holds her son Kenneth Koy-o-woh during a prescribed cultural burn in Weitchpec, California, US. This twice-annual burn on Yurok land is part of a Cultural Fire Management Council training in which Indigenous fire practitioners share traditional and modern knowledge with firefighters from around the world. In a recent survey, the Yurok community identified bringing fire back to the land as their top priority.

For millennia, Indigenous people in California and worldwide burned their land to promote food security, renew cultural and medicinal resources, create animal habitat, and control larger fire risk—until colonizers made these methods illegal. Now increasingly devastating wildfires have government agencies reconsidering the use of prescribed burning as a preventative measure, and looking to traditional knowledge to guide some of their policies. Meanwhile, the Yurok and other tribes are working to revive their fire culture and reclaim their right to burn on sovereign land.

I sometimes even forget it’s going on because I don’t like watching the news.

Giovanni was killed by the police after they detained him for not wearing a facemask, and the case was covered up until a video went viral showing him being beaten by the same police who took him away.

After Giovanni´s case people decided to protest around the country. A video from the first protest in Mexico City showed Melanie being kicked on the ground by the police. This video went viral too, and the intensity of the protests grew around the country.

Late civil rights activist and US Representative John Lewis (D-GA) has a final crossing over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, US. More than five decades ago, John Lewis, as a 25-year-old activist, helped to marshal hundreds of demonstrators across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They were bombarded by clouds of tear gas and swarmed by state troopers wielding clubs, one of which fractured Mr. Lewis’s skull.⁣

Mr. Lewis was carried by a horse-drawn carriage on Sunday, July 26, across the bridge one last time. He was surrounded by mourners drawn to what felt like sacred ground. They were there to bid farewell to Mr. Lewis, who became a guiding force in the civil rights movement in no small part because of his role in the march for the right to vote on March 7, 1965.⁣

A patient who traveled from Texas to California, US, receives a surgical abortion from Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, which serves many out-of-state clients. In the early months of the COVID-19 crisis, states hostile to abortion declared it a "nonessential" medical procedure, forcing women to take on great risk and expense. Though courts eventually forced the restoration of abortion access, women in twelve states had no access to abortion for weeks.

As they scrambled to pack personal belongings, the extended family of 10 also packed up and evacuated 14 horses and 6 dogs. “The sky was totally orange as far as we could see in all directions,” Susan High, a relative of Mann’s, explained about what conditions were like when they left their homes. Though they weren’t yet under an evacuation order, they wanted to have enough time to leave. “We didn’t want to do it in the middle of the night. When we saw the plume of smoke, we started to leave,” High explained.

"My sister had been exposed to his violence since her marriage 13 years ago. She could not bear it anymore and came back to Istanbul. She filed for divorce and wanted to start a new life in Istanbul," says Çiğdem. After Muhterem moved to Istanbul, Serdar constantly called and threatened her with death, showing up at her work and following her to her front door. The day before the crime he threatened her again. Serdar was taken into custody but released after a few hours by order of the prosecutor. The next day he murdered her.

Demonstrators during their walk from the Ministry of Higher Education building to Tahrir Square, in Baghdad, Iraq, on February 9, as part of a university-student-led protest calling for government reforms. Since October 1, 2019, when the Tishreen (October) Revolution was launched by thousands of Iraqis taking to the streets, acts of civil disobedience, sit-ins, and protests have continued—primarily in Baghdad and the southern provinces. The youth-dominated demonstrations are calling for an overhaul of the country’s corrupt political system—and by extension the influence of Iran in Iraq’s politics—and for the government to address high unemployment particularly among the youth (which stood at 16.5 percent for 2019) and improve public services. Almost all have also called for the rejection of the United States’ interference in Iraqi matters, following the assassination of Major General Qassem Suleimani at the beginning of the year.

“An American green tree frog emerges from a flower pot in the evening to search for insects attracted to the light from our house. While canceling travel plans and staying home during the pandemic, I spent a lot of time observing and photographing the many wildlife species found in my own backyard outside Atlanta, Georgia, US.”

“A portrait of me reminds me of the horrible moments I witnessed during the nine years of my first relationship. My partner's father psychologically tyrannized the whole family. After the breakup, I felt left alone with all the experiences I had in this family. It was a kind of a ‘family secret,’ and I didn't talk either with my family or with close friends about what I saw and heard. It took me many years to understand that I witnessed up close a terrible form of emotional violence that did not leave me untouched emotionally and physically.”

”I put on a mask before walking to the hospital. Everyone entering the hospital is required to have a mask on at all times. With the growing shortage of personal protective equipment, I am still figuring out the best way to conserve while keeping myself safe.”

A red lightning bolt designed by feminist artist Ola Jasionowska has become the most prominent sign of the recent protests against the new abortion ban and for Polish women’s rights in general. According to the artist, it is supposed to bring a clear message: “Be careful, we warn you. We do not agree to take away fundamental rights.” Here it is projected onto a building in the district of Żoliborz, where Jarosław Kaczyński lives in Warsaw, Poland. He is the leader of the ruling party and the most divisive politician in the country.

Women gather across Turkey to protest leaving the Istanbul Convention, which was prepared to protect women and LGBTQ+ people from violence and was signed by Turkey in 2011. All the demonstrations passed peacefully except in İzmir. Police blocked the crowd and didn’t let women and LGBTQ+ people march and make their press statement. When the group insisted on marching, police responded violently and took 16 women into custody. The crowd started sit-in protests for the detainees to be released.

An activist of the Blue Shields (Escudos Azules) plays with a child after spending the day with the residents of the Los Altos de la Estancia slum in Bogotá, Colombia. The Blue Shields formed during the national strike that Colombia experienced at the end of 2019. They are one of the *primeras lineas*, “front lines,” that appeared in the Latin American demonstrations last year, particularly in Chile. They are active resistance: they protect the demonstrators from police violence with their shields, without violence on their part. In Los Altos de la Estancia, they line up in front of houses threatened with demolition.

Queen Nicki Rangoon, 24 years old, poses for a portrait in her bedroom in Yangon, Myanmar. There is widespread discrimination and prejudice toward the local LGBTQ+ community, and the country is still plagued by section 377—a colonial-era law making homosexuality illegal. Nicki felt different since she was three years old. She says that before smartphones and social media became popular (which happened in the last five years), she was afraid of walking on the streets. These days a lot has changed, especially in Yangon. She proudly walks like a goddess, but she is constantly fighting for equal job opportunities and to be legally recognized. Nicki was photographed for Yangon Pride 2020.

A view of Tehran, Iran, in February 2020. “This is a photograph that I took the last time I was in a public place before the pandemic. Tehran doesn't look like the same place, to me. It is now in grief, with red dots like a metaphor for danger and blood.” Iran’s death toll from COVID-19 passed 40,000 in November.
