Congratulations to New Generation Scholars Young Artist Archival Fellow alum Alaina Lurry .l on earning her BFA in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Class of 2026.
🌟🌟🌟
During her time as a Young Artist Archival Fellow, Alaina approached photography as a critical site of inquiry, interrogating dominant understandings of Blackness, representation, memory, and selfhood. Her work resists certainty, opening space for more expansive ways of seeing and engaging Black life beyond inherited frameworks.
We honor Alaina’s evolving image-making practice and the possibilities it continues to unfold. As she reaches this important milestone, we look forward to the questions, interventions, and new ways of seeing that her work will continue to make possible.
