Sat Nam Ji
thank you for your response and support. Yes I would love people to be involved! Men and women! I am not only researching the visual aspect, but the wider issues of the representation of women in Sikhism and Punjabi culture. I have only just started the MA and at present am doing a lot of reading. But hope to start setting up conferences.

I think most people know that even though Sikhism promotes the equality of men and women, in reality it does not always happen.
For me it is important to look at why this does not happen and then move to making solutions and being active & practical about it.
Sometimes it just seems like such a huge task!
. As culturally, the representation of women compared to men is still unequal. There have been studies about this. So it is fact, not fiction. Although some changes have taken place and women are being empowered, there is still work to be done
.
It is not about being against men or only educating or empowering women, it is about working together, so to live in a more harmonious world. Men also need to be educated and made aware of the issues and self-reflect. Women can often dis-empower other women too, which is equally not good.
The Gurus questioned the world around them and made huge changes in social, cultural and philosophical ways. Its important as Sikhs to look at what can be done today. The Gurus were very active and not passive in their approach.
So it would be great to have people on board to make active changes.
Thanks!
