Welcome to the Hackney Flashers website!

A detail from a Hackney Flashers montage, text overlaid on an image of a wall reads "Who's still holding the baby"

The Hackney Flashers, a women’s photography collective, was formed in 1974 and remained active until 1980. It was started by a small group of photographers and an illustrator with the purpose of making a photography exhibition about women at work.
