The work of an artist credited with helping to reshape the photography landscape while campaigning for women’s rights and fair pay is being celebrated through a new exhibition and community archive.<\/p>\n
Rhonda Wilson spent more than three decades in Birmingham as an artist, cultural entrepreneur, journalist and activist, according to organisers.<\/p>\n
The project, named Seeing Rhonda and hosted in the city, features photographs, letters, posters and publications alongside personal notes and sketches that offer an insight into her life and work.<\/p>\n
