Sue Johnson

Sue Johnson worked as a documentary photographer before meeting Alison Cornyn, a fellow student, at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. Johnson’s photography examines the impact of economics on rituals within different cultures including quinciñeras, migrant workers, pilgrimages, marriages, and debutante balls. Her interactive installations weave together her images and collected sounds, and have been exhibited in Europe and the U.S. She has taught photography and new media at Harvard University and City College and has lectured on digital documentaries in Mexico, Sweden, Holland, and throughout New York City.

Johnson is an artist leader in Creative Capital’s Professional Development Program.
