What It Is
The Moon Index is a quiet research tool for tracing women’s images as they appear, disappear, return, and connect.
It gathers exhibitions of Asian women artists around the world, with a focus on photographers and image-makers.
Who It Is For
For researchers, curators, artists, writers, educators, students, and readers of feminist visual culture who want to follow Asian women photographers and image-makers across exhibitions, institutions, regions, and histories.
For those who believe visual culture is shaped not only by images, but also by records, absences, repetitions, and the ways we learn to notice.
What You Can Search
Search across: artist names, exhibition titles, venues, cities, regions, mediums, tags, exhibition status, and dates.
Each entry is designed to help you move between a single exhibition and a wider field of visual culture.

Early Access
The Moon Index is currently being built as a curated, paid-access research index.
Early access supports the ongoing work of collecting, verifying, organizing, and contextualizing exhibitions and image practices across regions and time.
This is not a feed. It is a growing field note, a research companion, and a living record of women’s visual presence.
