Gabriela Bulisova photographs with a keen, probing eye and a deep commitment to social issues.

Bulisova’s current project addresses the impact of mass incarceration on families and children.
Gabriela Bulisova has taught at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design of George Washington University since 2007. She has published her photographs widely, in the New York Review of Books, the Smithsonian Magazine, and National Geographic, among other publications, and has exhibited in Washington, DC, New York, and Ukraine.
