TICKETS are now available for a photography exhibition showcasing underrepresented women in senior roles.
The exhibition ‘Women in Uniform, by Bradford photographer Shy Burhan, features women from Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Arab (BAHA) backgrounds in their uniforms, or civilian clothes and ranges from artists and authors to planetary scientists, prison workers, and actresses.

The series of pictures will be on display at Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington, on International Women’s Day - March 8, 2023.
Shy Burhan said: “I’m very excited about this project.”
Shy is passionate about ‘Women in Uniform’ after the setbacks she faced in her career and the issues People of Colour are facing.
“I’m from Girglington.
“I’m a proud Bradford lass with a Pakistani and Muslim background and in my career, I’ve been told that I won’t make it out of Bradford and I ignored it.
“You have to persevere and keep working hard to set an example for other young women because nothing’s unreachable.”
Shy will be photographing women until February 2023 and hopes to get women from across England to feature in the project.
Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
