Growing Pains

Growing Pains is an Amsterdam based initiative working on the crossroads of visual arts, publishing, conversation, education and human connection that supports women and non-binary artists. The project navigates the space between artist books, photobooks and children’s books exploring alternative registers for difficult conversations.

It was set up in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Growing Pains was founded by Agata Bar, Daria Tuminas and Zhenia Sveshchinskaya.
