Carolyn Drake works on long-term, photo-based projects, seeking 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 divides between author and subject, as well as the real and the imaginary.
Drake has authored four books, with her fifth, Men Untitled, released in September 2023. Her work has been supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Peter S. Reed Foundation, Light Work, the Lange-Taylor Prize, a Fulbright Fellowship and the Henri Cartier-Bresson Award, among others. She became a full member of Magnum Photos in 2019.
