I am thrilled to present this selection of photographs and to recognize these photographers for their work and contributions to conversations surrounding one of the most universal yet least acknowledged forms of personal and cultural expression -- family photographs. To me, family photographs are layered with complexity and nuance, which can multiply and magnify with time. They can cross into larger public spheres, challenging contexts and concepts of image-making and conventions. This selection of thirty photographs made by twenty women reveals a profound sensibility and striking curiosity concerning and responding to the ideas of family, self-representation, and community. Thank you to everyone who submitted and congratulations to those featured.
