Girls on Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock is a traveling exhibit from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. It will rock Lehigh Valley with vibrant images of women rockers such as Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, Joan Jett and Tina Turner as they performed during their rise to stardom. In the late 60s, when women were a rarity in rock bands, female photographers, led by Rolling Stone’s Annie Leibovitz, were making their mark in the arts scene.

Photographer Anastasia Pantsios shot rare concert footage at outdoor parks, music halls and studios. The images reflect moments ranging from excitement to intimacy, captured on stage and off while developing a special interest in the visual study of the changing and diverse ways women presented themselves while making music. Girls on Film covers Pantsios’s 40 years of shooting talented women of Rock ‘n’ Roll – from Tina Turner through Gwen Stefani.

Pantsios photographs have appeared nationally and internationally in publications such as Rolling Stone, Esquire, USA Today and the Village Voice, as well as in books and album covers for the major superstars of rock.
