Alys Barrow

Alys Barrow (b. 1997) hails from Columbus, GA. During her time at UGA, she was able to collaborate with Emmie Harvard (BFA ’21) to participate in a pilot art practice with Tom Sachs. Additionally, she was a member of the Lamar Dodd School of Art’s Solidarity and Justice Committee, which launched the founding of the UGA Black Artists’ Alliance, an affinity group for Black students to gather in conversation and critique.

After graduating with a BFA in Photography in 2021, she moved to Brooklyn, NY, and began her career across Photography and Arts Administration, currently working for the Brooklyn Museum and The Self-Portrait Project.

In all forums of work, her focus remains on supporting the sustainability of systems that accessibly connect people with art and artmaking.
