National Geographic, a leading creator of documentaries, live events, experiences, and travelling exhibitions, has announced that its successful Women: A Century of Change exhibition is now available for slots in 2025 and beyond, crated and shipped from Washington, D.C. within the US and delivered digitally outside the US.
In its first run, it was seen by nearly 6 million visitors across 12 countries, and has now been extended due to popular demand.
Initially created for the 100th anniversary of the US constitutional amendment confirming women’s right to vote, this powerful exhibition from National Geographic showcases iconic women around the world.
Extended due to popular demand
Women: A Century of Change illuminates, celebrates and reflects on where the world’s women have been, where they are now and where they are going. The exhibition’s photographs, drawn from National Geographic’s unparalleled image collection, span nine decades and feature many countries.
Each image creates a portrait of some aspect of women’s existence and shows exhibition visitors how the depiction of women has evolved since National Geographic’s founding in 1888. The exhibition also includes behind-the-scenes stories from renowned female National Geographic photographers, such as Lynsey Addario, Jodi Cobb and Ami Vitale.
Complementing the exhibition is an additional special section: Portraits of Power. These are 24 intimate portraits and biographies of activists, politicians and celebrities who were interviewed for the book by National Geographic Magazine’s first female editor-in-chief, Susan Goldberg.
“Featuring images taken from all around the world, this exhibition highlights our long history of dynamic storytelling,” says senior director of business development, Cynthia Doumbia. “The portraits and places showcased share stories of beauty, hope, and strength of women everywhere.”
National Geographic’s travelling exhibitions and immersive experiences have been viewed by millions of visitors in over 50 countries worldwide, bringing stories of adventure, world cultures and wild places to life.
