The John and Margaret Baker Memorial Fellowship provides encouragement and financial assistance to an emerging photographer chosen from the finalists in the biennial National Photography Prize. This year, the $5,000 non-acquisitive fellowship was awarded to Olga Svyatova for their work Они/They, an ongoing photographic project that explores multiple connections between time, relationships, and archival images. Svyatova appropriates their own personal experience of differing cultures and histories to invite reflections on the intricate connections that sustain our lives across time and space.
