‘JANE SAYS’ BY ANN SHELTON IS GRANTED A SOLO SHOW AT GETXOPHOTO AFTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PHMUSEUM 2025 PHOTOGRAPHY GRANT. Warm congrats @annshelton_ 🌷
Maria Ptqk, Curator of @getxophoto, shared her thoughts on the selection of the work: “Under the title REC, the 2025’s edition of the Getxophoto addresses the topics of recording, registration, memory or legacy. Among the many projects presented to the open call, Ann Shelton’s ‘Jane Says’ immediately drew our attention because it offered a different and peculiar angle, that was not addressed by other projects in the festival: the memory of plants, and precisely of the many plants that have been historically used by women to assure their sexual and reproductive health. Shelton portrays these plants as natural jewels or small living monuments, with a subtlety and a sense of care inspired by the Japanese flower art of Ikebana.”
Ann’s work will be exhibited during the 18th edition of the festival, which will be held in the Basque Country in May-June 2025.
A huge thanks to all the applicants, prize recipients, partner organizations including @phest and @fotofestiwal, friends, and colleagues who participated in this 13th edition.
We appreciate your ongoing support and invite you to discover and share the prize recipients’ work by visiting phmuseum
