In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha has an in-depth conversation with photographer Ahndraya Parlato about her book, "Who is Changed and Who is Dead," published by MACK. Ahndraya shares the life-altering events that inspired her to create this examination of motherhood, which is filled with both humor and grief. Sasha and Ahndraya discuss the book's use of text and image and how Ahndraya had to let go of preconceived notions of what a photo book should be. Ahndraya also gives us a wonderful sneak peek into her next body of work. https://www.ahndrayaparlato.com/ | https://www.mackbooks.us/products/who-is-changed-and-who-is-dead-br-ahndraya-parlato?_pos=8&_sid=0db4ce9c9&_ss=r Ahndraya Parlato has a BA from Bard College and an MFA from California College of the Arts.
