About
Alice Proujansky is a photographer looking at family labor: birth, work, motherhood and identity.
Her photobook, Hard Times are Fighting Times (Gnomic Book, 2023), uses archival and documentary images to look at the legacy of radical activism in her family. It was shortlisted for a 2024 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award and the Rencontres d'Arles Author Book Award, and was selected for exhibition through Baxter St's Mid-Career Artists Initiative.
She is currently working on a photobook about culturally-responsive birth work and a photography and quilting project about psychological formation and motherhood.
Alice has taught photography since 2002, most recently for Aperture, who also published her book Go Photo! An Activity Book for Kids.
A member of Women Photograph, Alice grew up in Greenfield, MA. She graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and lives in Brooklyn with her family.
