Alexis Childress (b. 1993) is an Atlanta based photographer and mixed media artist who was born and raised in Illinois and relocated to Georgia in 2013. Inspired by Afrofuturism, her work manifests as visual interpretations of her experiences growing up as a black woman in the rural Midwest, confronted with racial tensions and generational oppression; using technology to examine race, culture, social transition, and self-identity. She received her BFA from Georgia State University and her work has been shown with Atlanta Photography Group Gallery, Dalton Gallery, Day and Night Projects and she's been published in Under the Bridge Zine.
