Allison Minto is a photographer based in Connecticut.
Minto's practice is rooted in photography, community, and field research. Her photography centers African American archives, memory, preservation, and maintenance, and her decision to use archival elements comes from personal experience. Whether digging through her family archives or recognizing the traditional position many Black women in the United States occupy as carriers of generational narratives, Allison attempts to render these experiences visible.
Minto holds an MFA in Photography from the Yale School of Art, where she was awarded the John Ferguson Weir Award for excellence, and a BA in Journalism from Buffalo State University.
Minto was selected as a Happy and Bob Doran Connecticut Artist in Residence at Yale University Art Gallery and DocX Archive Lab Fellow at Duke University.
She is also a member of Diversify Photo and Black Women Photographers
