Sterling Presence is an exhibition curated by the Silver Water Collective, a group of nine female photographers who have united to occupy their space in the world of contemporary photography.

Spanning themes of history, memory, identity, time, and perception, each artist represented in the exhibition engages her work with a unique process and technique challenging the confines of traditional photography. Though each artist comes from a different background and mindset, the process of photography allows them to outwardly manifest their collective internal struggles as women in modern society.
