Familial Intimacies

Greta Alexandra-Parker is an Oklahoma City based artist working in photography. Focused on family narratives in the American West and South, her work explores settler colonialism in the wake of the 21st century, environmental collapse due to land expropriation, and intergenerational family legacies.

Shot primarily in the southwest region of Oklahoma where her mother grew up and most of her relatives still live today, Greta directs her lens to the intimate lives of women and girls in her family.
