SUMMARY
The 40% Project is documenting the achievement of 40% female representation in British Parliament following the 2024 general election. Over 250 women Members of Parliament have been photographed by approximately 130 women photographers. The project aims to create a visual record beyond traditional political portraiture, showcasing the personalities behind the roles. Images are intended for a commemorative book, with a Kickstarter campaign for its publication and exhibitions launching in July.
