Anastasia Taylor Lind Fotografiska For Life X TIME

Anastasia Taylor-Lind is an English/Swedish photojournalist who spent more than a decade documenting issues relating to women, violence, and war. Fotografiska New York and TIME commissioned Taylor-Lind to explore the complicated web of American child care, which elucidates some of society’s biggest problems: the oft-neglected rights of immigrant workers, the uneven division of labor between men and women, and the unequal access to quality child care.​ 

This series marks the New York debut of Fotografiska For Life, a program that commissions work from the world’s foremost photographers and photojournalists to document critical global stories. Fotografiska For Life creates important forums to raise awareness, spark discussion, create change, and inspire a more conscious world.​

Anastasia Taylor-Lind is a Harvard Nieman Fellow (2016), a TED fellow, and a National Geographic Magazine contributor. Taylor-Lind regularly comments on the complexities of visualizing mass violence in the media and is working on a book about the way we tell contemporary war stories. Her first monograph MAIDAN – Portraits from the Black Square, which documents the 2014 Ukrainian uprising in Kiev, was published by GOST books the same year.
