This exhibition seeks women photographers who explore and celebrate the myriad ways that they render female-identifying subjects.

Lisa Elmaleh Won the 2022 Arnold Newman Prize with 'Promised Land'

Promised Land is a series of portraits of those whose lives have been affected by American policies implemented during the construction of the border wall. In an attempt to shed light on the lives that are impacted, I am photographing along the US/Mexico border from Boca Chica in the Gulf of Mexico to the border of Tijuana on the west coast. I am working with a large format 8×10 camera to create these portraits. Utilizing its slowness as an asset, I am able to spend time with each person who sits in front of my lens, hearing their stories.
