Dionne Lee works in photography, collage, and video to explore ideas of power, survival, and personal history in relation to the American landscape. Understanding American soil as a site of trauma serves as a touchstone for understanding how history determines the autonomy and resilience of people across time. Lee received her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2017. She has exhibited work at the Museum of Modern Art, Aperture Foundation, International Center of Photography, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. Lee was a finalist for the 2019 SFMoMA SECA and San Francisco Artadia awards. Lee teaches at Stanford University, lives and works on the unceded territories of the Ohlone and Chochenyo peoples.
