GroundTruth Institute is an artist-led contemporary arts organization that amplifies photographic engagement with ecology, environmental issues, and place-based research. Through an online archive, gatherings, and grants, GroundTruth supports lens-based artists by fostering community building through critical dialogue and collaboration. 

Across diverse geographies and practices, women* photographers have long been producing nuanced, sustained engagements with the environment - work that moves beyond surface documentation to ask critical questions about land, history, labor, extraction, memory, and responsibility. GroundTruth exists to make space for these practices, to slow down, to listen, and to foreground the knowledge embedded in photographic work rooted in long-term attention to place.

As the Director and Founder, my vision for GroundTruth Institute grew out of more than 20 years of experience designing collaborative, arts-based programs at colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations.
