A tribute to commemorate 234 female journalist/media workers whom have perished in relation to their work. Individually through oil portraiture, collectively with a 3D multi-media art installation, documentary and book. From 1965 until it stops.

This page is a documentation of my progress.
The images below are all sketches 12cm x 18cm, Oil on paper.
I’m currently studying and researching the 234 women and will start painting the portraits February 2023.
“The United Nations recognises November 2 as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.”
The resolution, adopted in 2013, recognised that the killing of a journalist is not only a crime against a human being, but also against fundamental democratic values.
For the majority of the women I will be documenting, no one has been held accountable or sentenced for their deaths.
