Alanna Fields (b.1990)[1] is an American multimedia artist and archivist based in Brooklyn, New York.[2]

Early life and education

Fields was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, in 1990.[2] She holds a BA in Literature from Trinity Washington University, and attended the Pratt Institute, graduating from the Photography MFA program in 2019.[3][2]

Work

Fields uses archival material in her work to explore how Black queer people have been represented historically.[2] Her work uses photography, text and painting, and often uses wax to represent the way in which Black queer bodies and histories have been obfuscated.[4][3] She has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art,[2] and Brooklyn's Photoville festival.[5] Her work is held in the public collection of the Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center.[3] In 2021 she was commissioned by the New York Times Style Magazine to produce work about the effects of the pandemic on friendship.[6] She was part of the 2021-22 cohort of artists at Silver Art Projects in New York.[7][8] Fields is represented by the agency and studio Assembly.[3]

In 2018, she received the Gordon Parks Scholar Award,[9] and was a 2020 Light Work Artist in Residence.[10]
