Dori Walker (b. 2002)

is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, and creative director.

Dori works intimately with the tension of still and moving image, sound, and music, to re-imagine the existing visual catalog of quotidian Black life with an emphasis on Black femme subjectivity, affective labor, oral histories, and the archive.
