Twelve Women In Academia
A celebration of women working in higher education
In celebration of women working in higher education, 威尼斯在线注册的12位女学者被邀请成为一系列肖像摄影的一部分.
每位学者被要求选择一个与之合影的物体, 这要么代表了他们工作的一个方面，要么在他们的职业生涯中有一些个人意义. Some of the women are leading research in the most competitive areas; others are just starting on their journeys.
灵感来自17世纪荷兰艺术家伦勃朗沉静而忧郁的画作, 美术摄影师阿涅拉小姐创作了一系列肖像，以微妙而有趣的方式捕捉了这些女性的生活和工作.
这些肖像不仅展示了威尼斯在线注册的女性学者为全球知识做出的丰富多样的学科贡献, but also reveal their personal motivations.
威尼斯在线注册希望展览的结果是迫使观众停下来，吸收和反思.
这个展览现在在威尼斯在线注册图书馆的一楼有了一个永久的家, 并在议会大厦的上层等候大厅展出了一周.

“Being a pharmacist is more than learning about drugs; interaction with patients is just as important. 你必须致力于关心那些需要药物治疗的人. 你需要意识到你可能对那些身体不适或有长期健康问题的人产生的影响. That’s how I am and it’s what I encourage my students to be.”

“十字架, given to me when my son was born, 是埃塞俄比亚东正教的十字架，把我在那个国家的时光和我最深层次的动机联系起来, which is my Christian faith. The cross is a bit like a key, 所以它也代表了我作为一名科学家所拥有的非凡机会，来解开对足管线虫病的理解, the mysterious disease I study.”

“相机对我来说是我作为人类学家所做工作的象征. It is about capturing people’s lives in a changing present. I associate it with a sense of adventure and travel. 但我也对人们如何用照片来呈现理想化的自己和想象中的未来感兴趣. I’m interested in what they choose to hide.”

“This worn copy of Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, 一个女人长达一个半小时的独白，她把自己的腰埋在沙子里，然后是脖子, 是我当戏剧专业学生时演的那部戏吗. 贝克特所有的戏剧都是关于坚持下去的决心, the will to go on, 面对生活的根本无意义和荒谬. 我是一个绝对的乐观主义者，但也是一个现实主义者，这很好地反映了我的观点. 我发现贝克特的作品在哲学上既具有挑战性又令人欣慰.”

“I couldn’t do my job without binoculars. We only want to be observers but having the binoculars makes it feel much more intimate; we can get much more detailed information whilst not intruding on the animals. These binoculars were my uncle’s and then my father’s. 我有一些新的，更轻的，但我喜欢与它们的家庭联系.”
