Masterclass Artist Talk with Carolyn Drake

Please join PCNW as we welcome acclaimed photographic artist for a Masterclass artist talk exploring her expansive creative practice. Drake’s long term photo-based projects seek to interrogate dominant historical narratives and creatively reimagine them. Her practice embraces collaboration and has in recent years melded photography with sewing, collage, and sculpture. She is interested in collapsing the traditional divide between author and subject, the real and the imaginary, challenging entrenched binaries. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a Fulbright fellowship in Ukraine, and the Henri Cartier Bresson Award, among other honors. Drake’s work is held in the permanent collections of SFMOMA, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. She is represented by Magnum Photos and Yancey Richardson Gallery and is based in Vallejo, California.
