LISA DUBOIS is a photographer, curator, and multidisciplinary artist. Raised in the New York metropolitan area, LISA's work is deeply rooted in an exploration of multiculturalism that documents the traditions, identities and visual culture of New York City's diverse, multiethnic communities. This focus is especially evident in her extensive photographic collections encompassing New York City's cultural parades, as well as the New Orleans' Zulu Club and Mardi Gras Indians. Her widely collected images of New Orleans subcultures reflect a profound respect for history, heritage and traditions.

“I strive continuously, to capture images with intention and authenticity," states DUBOUS when discussing her expansive photograph collections.

A significant portion of LISA's parade photography is featured on the Social Documentary Network, a global platform where she also serves as a photo editor and a diversity advisor.

"I'm committed to maintaining my deep curiosity for all facets of humankind and its existence."

In addition to the Dwyer Cultural Center, which regularly features some of LISA's one-of-a-kind pieces, her photography and work has been featured at the Schomburg Center For Research In Black Culture and the Wallach Art Gallery, all located in Harlem, and the Gordon Parks Gallery in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as well as in other renowned institutions throughout the United States and abroad. Her work has received recognition from leading publications like The Guardian and The New York Times.
