Tarrah Krajnak received her MFA in Photography from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. She was awarded the Harpo Foundation Grant in 2018 and the 2020 Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize (Center for Documentary Studies, Duke University). Her work engages with intellectual and material histories, ranging from the sociopolitical conditions of Lima in the late 1970s, to the legacy of modernist canons within the history of photography. She is currently preparing a solo exhibition with as-is.la gallery, scheduled for the fall of 2021, as well as a monograph, forthcoming from Dais Books. Krajnak is also an Associate Professor of Art at Pitzer College in Claremont, California.
