The photo 'Fraternal socialist kiss between Lyudmila Brezhnev and Erica Honecker. 1979’ by Ana Amado has been the favourite of the audience of the EU co-funded project 'Reconstruction of Identities'.
The photo was pre-selected among other 3 finalists of the open call by the jury for its powerful recreation of a historical moment to point out the yet present imbalance between men and women when we speak of leadership positions.
The image will be exhibited in Copenhagen Photo Festival and SIFEST 2020. Until then, we encourage you to follow her work ‘Lideresas (Female Leaders)’ series, to which the winner image belongs to.
