ASSERTING OUR AUTHORITY IN THE VISUAL WORLD

The Authority Collective is a group of 300+ women, non-binary, and gender expansive people of color working in the photography, film and VR/AR industries.

Our mission is to empower marginalized artists with resources and community, and to take action against systemic and individual abuses in the world of lens-based editorial, documentary and commercial visual work.

VEER is a visuals-centric hybrid zine that features the work and perspectives of women and nonbinary lens-based workers of color. Launched in Jan. 2023, the online version of the zine publishes new content quarterly through a series of verticals highlighting visual work by Authority Collective Community, alongside features on media industry and social issues. Each year, VEER publishes its fourth issue as a print coffee table book that is circulated to photo editors, art directors, curators, and other industry insiders to spotlight the work of women/nonbinary visual media makers of color.
